Lecture materials for Cornell CS5785 Applied Machine Learning (Fall 2024)

Applied Machine Learning (Cornell CS5785, Fall 2024)

This repo contains executable course notes and slides for the Applied ML course at Cornell and Cornell Tech (Fall 2024 edition).

Note that these notes are slightly different from the ones used in my Youtube lecture videos videos from the Fall 2020 edition of the course. You may find these in my other Github repo.

Add system dependencies to docs

Hello @kuleshov, thank you very much for your impressive work and your sharing efforts.

When I was following the instructions to compile the notes, slides and pdfs, I found out I had to install some system packages needed for pandoc to work. In Ubuntu, these are:

sudo apt-get install sudo apt-get install texlive-xetex texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-plain-generic pandoc

I suggest this could be added to the README so nobody gets stuck due to that. These TeX dependencies will likely be installed already in the computers of most researchers, but not in so many applied practitioners who will be interested in this applied course 😃 .

Kind regards,
Javier

Bugfix: Fixing the labels

This suggest a fix to the labels used in the plot linked below:

https://github.com/kuleshov/cornell-cs5785-2022-applied-ml/blob/fab3401185850553f5289a4b78e48c70b2d2fc4d/lecture-notes/lecture2-supervised-learning.ipynb#L2157C6-L2157C78

fix: plt.legend(['Initial patients', 'New patients', 'Prediction'])

ps: The same applies to the 2020 edition of the course.
