ML_toolbox

ML_toolbox: A Machine learning toolbox containing algorithms for dimensionality reduction, clustering, classification and regression along with examples and tutorials which accompany the Master level course Advanced Machine Learning taught at EPFL by Prof. Aude Billard.

Go to the ./examples folder to run some simple demos and examples from each method. More in-depth tutorials are provided in tutorials-spring-2016 for testing, parameter optimization, evaluation of the following 4 specific topics.

Tutorials

Non-linear Dimensionality Reduction

Tutorial (TP2) covers: kernel Princical Component Analysis (kPCA), Laplacian Eigenmaps, Isomaps.

Classification

Tutorial (TP3) covers: Support Vector Machine (C-SVM, nu-SVM), Relevance Vector Machine (RVM) and Adaboost

Regression

Tutorial (TP4) covers: Support Vector Regression (eps-SVR, nu-SVR), Relevance Vector Regression (RVM), Bayesian Linear Regression (BLR) and Gaussian Process Regression (GPR)

Examples

Reinforcement Learning

Policy Evaluation (PE) and Value Iteration (VI) in 2D grid world, Moutain car example with Temporal Difference (TD) Learning

3rd Party Software

This toolbox includes 3rd party software for the implementation of a couple of algorithms, namely:

• Matlab Toolbox for Dimensionality Reduction
• LibSVM
• SparseBayes Software

You DO NOT need to install these, they are already pre-packaged in this toolbox.

-- The authors of this toolbox and accompanying tutorials were the TA's from Spring 2016 semester:
Guillaume de Chambrier, Nadia Figueroa and Denys Lamotte
