11.5.2012: The material for lecture 16 (slides) is now available in yesterday's version, minus the videos, but plus a list of references for the images and background material. Most videos can be found on the web, links to respective sites are provided. Some material had to be removed due to privacy reasons, as is stated in the pdf. OBS!!! PLEASE NOTE: Any statements made regarding the exam were my view and are thus only applicable to the three lectures held by me (Elin)!

4.5.2012: Anyone interested in a full-blown Machine Learning course offered on-line may consider the Stanford University proposition.

27.4.2012: The slides for lecture 13 (Reinforcement learning) are now in yesterday's version available on the material page. The video is not included, but it is easy to retrieve on the web (link on the respective slide). There are also other robot learning related videos on that site for those interested ;-)

If you know the definitive source of the image above (Caesar seeing an eagle, a more detailed pdf here) then please let me (JM) know - I would like to give proper credit. Thanks to Tom Carlsson I know already that it appears in a book by H. Maturana and F. Varela, The tree of knowledge, where it is in turn attributed to a book "El hombre" by F. Kuhn, part 2, p. 235, Buenos Aires, 1944. I haven't traced this one yet.
