MIT CSAIL Big Data Initiative

MIT has a website dedicated to Big Data initiative from MIT CSAIL (Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory). Following pages are worth visits to understand ongoing research and listen/view talks that happened in past.

• Research projects
• Archived Talks

MIT Machine Learning Lecture Notes & Videos

Following are worth bookmarks for some of the online courses provided by MIT education community (Lecturers and Professors)

• How to Process, Analyze and Visualize Data: This course is an introduction to data cleaning, analysis and visualization. Following are some of the key topics taught as part of this course:
  • Visualization
  • Hypothesis testing
  • Regression
  • Text processing
  • Prcoessing large datasets
• Lectures on Machine Learning: The page consists of PDFs on different machine learning concepts. Following are three key machine learning topics that have been detailed along with different algorithms:
  • Regression
  • Classification
  • Clustering
• Machine Learning and Statistics: There are lecture notes on some of the following:
  • Clustering
  • Classification (k-nearest neighbors, Naïve Bayes, Decision trees, Logistic regression, Support vector machines)
  • Boosting
• Videos on Machine Learning Topics: Following are some of the videos I liked:
  • Support Vector Machines
  • K-Nearest Neighbors
  • Neural Networks
  • Classification Trees
