Serdang, February 7 – The Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Faculty of Science, UPM, organized a workshop titled "Understanding Linear Algebra and Regression Behind Machine Learning" from January 8 to 9, 2025, at the Al-Khawarizmi Seminar Room. The workshop aimed to provide an in-depth understanding of the role of linear algebra and regression in the development of machine learning models. Participants were introduced to fundamental linear algebra concepts such as vectors, matrices, and eigenvalues, which play a crucial role in many machine learning algorithms.

In addition, the workshop also focused on regression, a fundamental technique in machine learning used for predictive analysis and statistical modeling. The invited speaker, Prof. Dr. Biswa N. Datta from Northern Illinois University, USA, shared his experiences and knowledge regarding the real-world applications of these theories.

The workshop attracted participants from among students, researchers, and professionals from external agencies such as Sunway University and the Department of Statistics Malaysia, all of whom were interested in delving deeper into important concepts in machine learning. With the participation of Prof. Dr. Biswa N. Datta, the workshop successfully offered a fresh perspective on exploring the relationship between mathematics and machine learning technology.
