PSL Preparatory Weeks


Preparation courses on machine learning, 2023

This year, the transverse program for data sciences of PSL proposes two preparatory weeks :

  • The preparatory week on basics in math and data science (starting the 21th of August). The students will follow it remotely and autonomously. For each part, video lectures, exercise sheets and lab sessions (Python notebooks) will be provided.
  • The preparatory week on machine learning, bigdata, and ethics (from the 28th of August to the 2th of September 2024)

Both weeks are open to all master and PhD students from PSL. Subject to availabilities, students from other universities can also attend. The registration is free but mandatory. See the two links below, one for each week.

Preparatory week on basics (remote)

This first preparatory week will “start” on Monday, August 29. By the way you can start before: all you need is your moodle account (see the section on registration). The students will follow it remotely and autonomously. For each of the five parts, video lectures, exercise sheets and lab sessions under the form of Python notebooks will be provided. For each part, the theoretical content (lectures and exercises) should represent about a half day of work (around four hours), and the lab session also.

It is mandatory to follow this week before the advanced one !!

Pre-registration

You can pre-register here to the course.

PSL students have priority if they pre-register before August 15th.

To have access to the moddle, you need to register before August the 20th.

Expected roadmap

With this organization in mind, the schedule is as follows :

  • Reza Hatami: Functions and sequences
  • Gwendoline de Bie: Basics of linear algebra
  • Pierre Ablin Differential: calculus and PCA
  • Madalina Olteanu: Statistics
  • Pierre Senellart: Databases

Q&A sessions

In addition, sessions of questions and answers will be organized : the teachers of the first four parts will make themselves available through Teams in the afternoon, during two hours, and will answer the questions of the students.
