Semester: Spring Offered: 2012 Course Description: Probabilistic graphical models are an intuitive visual language for describing the structure of joint probability distributions using graphs. They enable the compact representation and manipulation of exponentially large probability distributions, which allows them to efficiently manage the uncertainty and partial observability that commonly occur in real-world problems. As a result, … Continue reading "CMPSCI 691GM: Graphical Models-2012"

Semester: Fall Offered: 2012 Course Description: Development of mathematical reasoning skills for problems that involve uncertainty. Each concept will be illustrated by real-world examples and demonstrated though in-class and homework exercises, some of which will involve Java programming. Counting and probability — basic counting problems, probability definitions, mean, variance, binomial distribution, Markov and Chebyshev bounds. Probabilistic … Continue reading "CMPSCI 240: Reasoning About Uncertainty- 2012"
