Tutorials (Machine Learning/SVM) from Mon, Jan 19:
  • Doug's regression tutorial: regression.pdf
  • Doug's classification tutorial: classification.pdf
  • SVM Powerpoint tutorial by Mingyue Tan : svm_tutorial.ppt (the one I did in class was different. I was asked by it's author not to distribute it on the class website. If you would like it, please contact me by email.)

[1] What is "SEGDSP"? There is a decent free online textbook by Stephen Smith called the The Scientist and Engineer's Guide to Digital Signal Processing. It can be found at www.dspguide.com. Local copies of the chapters are referred to here as "SEGDSP" and are found in the directory segdsp. For signal processing, I will refer to chapters in this textbook. However, since the concepts we're dealing with are basic (Fourier analysis, convolution, filtering...) feel free to use any DSP textbook you'd like.
