I am at a loss to understand how these constitute _machine_ learning? The preface says "the exercises are ideally paired with computer exercises..." but I am at a loss to imagine what such computer exercises would look like. Somebody ELI(at least 10)?
- jackpirate 4y agoThese exercises are writing mathematical proofs that basic machine learning algorithms behave correctly. They are "pen and paper" not because you are manually solving a large equation that a machine would normally solve, but because we don't have automated theorem provers capable of proving interesting machine learning theorems. I would expect a typical 1st year grad student to be using a resource like this. If you don't understand the purpose of proofs, then this resource is not aimed at you.
- hintymad 4y agoYour question is a fair one and does not deserve to be downvoted. I'm just curious from what sources you learned about machine learning? Even in this world of using libraries to get things done, I have yet to see machine learning books or courses not touching math at all.
