  • For graphical models and Beta-Bernoulli models, I recommend A Tutorial on Learning with Bayesian Networks David Heckerman.
  • Kevin Murphy has compiled a nice page about Bayesian learning.
  • Wikipedia tutorial on the: SVD
  • The following handout should help you with linear algebra revision: PDF
  • The homework should be handed in on Wednesday at the beginning of the class. Please note that messy homeworks will be penalized - it is your responsibility to ensure that the material is presented in a clear written form. All pseudocode must be handed in.
