XCS229-Handouts

This repository contains .tex and .pdf along with relevant files for Handouts used in both XCS229i: Machine Learning and XCS229ii: Machine Learning Strategy and Intro to Reinforcement Learning. Below is a snapshot of where each handout belongs within the scope of these two classes:

    • Decision Trees (Further Reading: Boosting, Ensemble Methods)
  • Unsupervised Learning
    • K-Means Clustering
    • Mixture of Gaussians
    • Expectation Maximization Algorithm
    • Factor Analysis
    • Independent Component Analysis

  • Reinforcement Learning
    • Reinforcement Learning and Control
    • LQR, DDP, and LQG

Compiling Latex

Each subdirectory within this folder has, at a minimum, a file titled latexmkrc. This is the settings file for latexmk, which will handle juggling the various latex engines preferred by the course staff. A basic latexmkrc file (e.g., for pdflatex) might have the following contents (latexmk documentation):

@default_files = ("main.tex");   # Set the root tex file for the output document
$pdf_mode = 1;                   # tex -> PDF
$auto_rc_use = 1;                # Do not read further latexmkrc files
$warnings_as_errors = 1;         # Elevates warnings to errors.  Enforces cleaner code.
$pdflatex = "pdflatex -halt-on-error -interaction=batchmode %O %S";
                                 # Forces latexmk to stop and quit if it encounters an error
$jobname = "output_name";        # This is the name of the output PDF file
$silent = 1                      # For quieter output on the terminal.

Feel free to customize this as you desire, including adding more files, directories, and media. There is only one requirements:

IT MUST BE POSSIBLE TO COMPILE EACH DOCUMENT USING ONLY THE FOLLOWING COMMAND:

$ latexmk

A properly setup latexmkrc file can handle any special compilation options you may require. Put those options in the latexmkrc file so that other course staff can compile your document with the command above.

Other commands that might be helpful include:

  • $ latexmk -pvc: (preview continuously) This will run latexmk continuously, allowing you to immediately view changes to your output document as you save source files.
  • $ latexmk -c: This will remove all auxiliary files other than the final output PDF.
  • $ latexmk -C: This will remove all output files (including the final output PDF).
