Connectionists: Machine Learning Intro with Matlab examples

[Thomas Trappenberg]

Dear Colleagues,

I just wrote a little introductory review on machine learning, which
you can download at
www.cs.dal.ca/~tt/papers/MLintro2012.pdf

The paper is a draft for a workshop on development and learning, and
my hope is that this introduction is useful since it surveys and
relates several prominent approaches including Boltzmann machines,
Maximum Likelihood, Support Vector Machines, Bayesian Networks,
Temporal Difference Learning etc. Feedback would be highly
appreciated. The paper includes some Matlab examples.

Cheers, Thomas
