A Gentle Introduction to Supervised Machine Learning
This tutorial is based on the lecture notes for the courses "Machine Learning: Basic Principles" and "Artificial Intelligence", which I have taught during fall 2017 and spring 2018 at Aalto university. The aim is to provide an accessible introduction to some of the main concepts and methods within supervised machine learning. Most of the current systems which are con- sidered as (artificially) intelligent are based on some form of supervised machine learning. After discussing the main building blocks of a formal machine learning problem, some of the most popular algorithmic design patterns for machine learning methods are presented.
