Introduces the main algorithms and ideas that underpin machine learning techniques and applications Keeps mathematical prerequisites to a minimum, providing mathematical explanations in comment boxes and highlighting important equations Covers modern machine learning research and techniques Includes three new chapters on Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques, Classification and Regression with Gaussian Processes, and Dirichlet Process models Offers Python, R, and MATLAB code on accompanying website: http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~srogers/firstcourseml/"

A First Course in Machine Learning covers the core mathematical and statistical techniques needed to understand some of the most popular machine learning algorithms. The algorithms presented span the main problem areas within machine learning: classification, clustering and projection. The text gives detailed descriptions and derivations for a small number of algorithms rather than cover many algorithms in less detail. Referenced throughout the text and available on a supporting website (http://bit.ly/firstcourseml), an extensive collection of MATLAB®/Octave scripts enables students to recreate plots that appear in the book and investigate changing model specifications and parameter values. By experimenting with the various algorithms and concepts, students see how an abstract set of equations can be used to solve real problems. Requiring minimal mathematical prerequisites, the classroom-tested material in this text offers a concise, accessible introduction to machine learning. It provides students with the knowledge and confidence to explore the machine learning literature and research specific methods in more detail.

The digital revolution that we have experienced since the last quarter of the twentieth century has had some influence, yet to be analysed and extended, on the way mathematics is made, taught and learned. While the rate of innovation in these technologies is growing exponentially, the potential impact of most information technologies on mathematical education remains to be fully exploited. In particular, several authoritative voices point out that the technology that will most likely transform education in the coming years is artificial intelligence (AI). Interestingly, today AI is mainly associated with technologies to automate tasks and lower costs, thus serving primarily the interests of the political-administrative, industrial and commercial world. In this scenario, the world of education and, more specifically, didactics, appears at best as a mere user of AI techniques developed in other fields, forgetting that AI should play a much more relevant role here, serving the human being who is doing his work as a mathematician or who is learning mathematics. The AI4ME symposium at the International Centre for Mathematical Meetings (CIEM) in Castro Urdiales is a space for research and reflection to better understand the interconnected challenges of instrumental learning of mathematics and instrumental mathematics, taking advantage of the achievements and opportunities of Artificial Intelligence for Mathematical Education. This book of abstracts gathers the summaries of the talks presented at the symposium, as well as the conclusions of each of the four thematic groups.

This volume presents a multifaceted analysis of joint collaboration in German and Turkish institutes in the field of interior architecture. It explores the importance of increasing and diversifying such joint endeavours, and of ensuring the long-term collaboration of the governments in both countries by giving support to high quality, young scientists. It also stresses the pivotal role to be played by binary collaboration between science and education. As such, the book will serve to build and strengthen the cooperative facilities between Germany and Turkey on behalf of research education and innovative studies. In addition, it discusses how future studies in this area can attract potential students through integrated studies, hosted by both Germany and Turkey.
