    About the Course

    Probabilistic graphical models (PGMs) are a rich framework for encoding probability distributions over complex domains: joint (multivariate)
    distributions over large numbers of random variables that interact with each other. These representations sit at the intersection of statistics and
    computer science, relying on concepts from probability theory, graph algorithms, machine learning, and more. They are the basis for the
    state-of-the-art methods in a wide variety of applications, such as medical diagnosis, image understanding, speech recognition, natural
    language processing, and many, many more. They are also a foundational tool in formulating many machine learning proble...
