• Some teaching material (data science, machine learning, information visualizations) is available as jupyter notebook on Github
  • Introductory Machine Learning Videos by Madis Lemsalu, a former student, can be found on youtube

Lecture Slides and Material

Some slide sets use animations in Latex beamer. The produced PDF is unfortuantely not correctly readable with all PDF viewers. I recommend to use Adobe PDF viewer.
