===== Overview =====
The aim of statistical machine learning is to develop systems (statistical models and algorithms) for learning to solve prediction tasks given a set of examples and some prior knowledge about the task. Students will gain the ability to construct learning systems for typical applications by successfully combining appropriate models and learning methods.
