A recent announcement appearing in MIT News, “Machine learning branches out,” highlights new research in probabilistic graphical models. In a paper being presented in December at the annual conference ...

Probabilistic graphical models are a powerful technique for handling uncertainty in machine learning. The course will cover how probability distributions can be represented in graphical models, how ...

The key idea behind the probabilistic framework to machine learning is that learning can be thought of as inferring plausible models to explain observed data. A machine can use such models to make ...
