Probabilistic Graphical Models

CSE561

MTH201

This course will introduce the basic concepts of probabilistic graphical models. Graphical Models are a unified framework that allow to express and manipulate complex probability distributions in a compact and efficient way. They allow to one to reach mathematically sound conclusions in presence of limited and noisy observations. Many machine learning applications are tackled by the use of these models.

1. Students are able to construct Bayesian and Markov network representation for a given problem.
2. Students will know and able to apply techniques to do exact and approximate inference in the probabilistic graphical models.
3. Students are able to understand how to learn parameters and structure for graphical models.
