Statistical Machine Learning (SML) PhD course (9+3hp)

Each lecture comes with a list of recommended problems to be solved as shown in the table below. If there are no letters in front of the numbers, they refer to problems in the book by Bishop. If the letters HTF appears in front of the number that means that exercise is to be found in the book by Hastie, Tibshirani and Friedman.

Note that the slides provided below only covers a small part of the lectures, the blackboard is used quite extensively.
