Prüfer: Prof. Nöth **Bayes Classifier** * What are posteriors/priors? * Why it is optimal, how can we compute all probabilities? * How can we estimate these parameters? * Why it is not always a good idea to use the 0-1 cost function and therefore the missclassification? **Gaussian classifier** * Relationship to the Bayes classifier? * How can it computed? * How can we estimate the parameters? **EM-Algorithm** * Why and how does the EM converge? * Compute the E- and M-step. **Exercise** * kNN example code. Describe what is going on. * What are the sizes of the matrices? **Summary** Very kind and relaxed atmosphere. Focus on practical considerations! Describe the Matlab code step by step and focus on the Matlab syntax! Student friendly grading.
