Probabilistic Graphical Models are a core technology for machine learning, decision making, machine vision, natural language processing and many other artificial intelligence applications. In this course we provide an overview of the subject. We review the formal theoretical foundations and we perform a practical project where the student can apply the technology successfully to a problem of his interest.

Metodología docente

Lectures will be given where the main contents will be presented to the students. The students will be requested to do exercises to increase and deepen the knowledge acquired in the lectures. Finally an exam will validate the learning outcome of the students.

Método de evaluación

The course will be marked by an examination and through the evaluation of the exercises requested to the students along the course. However, there is room for a different evaluation method to be agreed between the students and the course professor when the course begins.
