A Framework for Machine Learning Education

Machine learning is transforming nearly every field of science and technology, leading to its growing popularity across diverse disciplines. As a result, teaching introductory machine learning courses often means addressing the challenge of varying student backgrounds.

To tackle this, I developed an innovative teaching framework that simplifies and structures the learning process for students from diverse fields.

A Three-Component Perspective on Machine Learning

At the core of my teaching philosophy are three fundamental components of machine learning:

  1. Data Representation
  2. Model Design
  3. Loss Functions

This framework decomposes any machine learning method into these three components, enabling students to grasp the core ideas and systematically explore the broad landscape of machine learning methods and applications.

Three-Component Framework for Machine Learning

The principles of this framework are extensively discussed in my textbook:
Machine Learning: The Basics
A. Jung, Springer, 2022.
