EECS 545, Winter 2016

This repository contains the lecture materials for EECS 545, a graduate course in Machine Learning, at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

The link above gives a list of all of the available lecture materials, including links to ipython notebooks (via Jupyter's nbviewer), the slideshow view, and PDFs.
