Machine Learning takes over the EECS Atrium

Students in EECS 545: Machine Learning presented posters on their class projects in the EECS Atrium on Friday, December 13^th. The course is a graduate-level introduction of machine learning and provides foundations of mathematical derivation and implementation of the algorithms and their applications. It was taught by Al Hero, the John H. Holland Distinguished University Professor of EECS and R. Jamison and Betty Williams Professor of Engineering.

The students’ projects fell into one of three tracks:

1. Application
2. Implementation
3. Open-Ended

KLA, a global capital equipment company that is currently building a second headquarters in Ann Arbor, sponsored the event. They awarded a $100 gift card to each member of a 1^st place team, a $50 gift card to each member of a 2^nd place team, and a $25 gift card for honorable mentions. Below are the winners:
