Machine Learning Write Ups (in Portuguese)

The documents below are introductory materials for a variety of machine learning sub-fields. These materials are actually chapters of my undergraduate thesis written back in 2008. Even though these are fast-moving research areas, these materials can serve as a first read for the newcomers in the machine learning realm. All the documents are in Brazilian Portuguese.

• Genetic Algorithms (Algoritmos Genéticos)
• Bayesian Networks (Redes Bayesianas)
• Particle Swarm Optimization (Otimização por Enxame de Partículas)
• Neural Networks (Redes Neurais)
• Support Vector Machine (Máquina de Vetores Suporte)

The full undergrad thesis can be found here. If you have used these materials and would like cite it, please use the following citation entry:
