Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

0.1.1 Welcome to Supervised Machine Learning

Course subject(s) Module 00. Welcome to Supervised Machine Learning! Module 01. Introduction to Supervised Machine Learning

Machine learning classification and regression techniques have the potential to be used in various engineering disciplines. These machine learning models allow you to make predictions for a category (classification) or for a number (regression) given sensor data, and can be used in, for example, predicting properties of objects (such as their weight or shape).

You will get insight into:

    • Machine Learning and its variants (supervised, semi-supervised, unsupervised, reinforcement)
    • Regression
    • Classification
    • Training Models (stochastic gradient descent and logistic regression)
    • Overfitting (bias variance decomposition and cross validation)
    • Cross Validation & Regularization (Ridge and Lasso)
    • Classifier Evaluation
    • Support Vector Machines (SVMs)
    • Decision Trees

We welcome you and hope you’ll learn form this course. Let’s get started!
