Tuesday January 17, 2012 (Week 2)


This third lecture focused on how one can formalize the decision making process using two complementary approaches:

  • finding a discriminant function (i.e., a real-valued function whose domain is the feature space);
  • finding the decision boundary (i.e. a co-dimension one structure in the feature space).

We illustrated this using algebraic varieties, with an emphasis on hyperplanes (i.e. when the discriminant function is a degree one polynomial).
