Graphical models provide a powerful framework for machine learning that allows effective representation of dependency between disparate factors and enables the use of principled probabilistic methods for inference and parameter estimation. This course provides an introduction to graphical models. The models have emerged as standard workhorses in machine learning with applications in many diverse areas such as computer vision, image/video processing, pattern recognition and classification, communications and error correction coding, and bioinformatics. Several of these applications will be used through the course to illustrate the application of graphical models in practice. The course will also feature a set of hands on computational assignments that will help students develop deeper familiarity with the models.

The course aims at providing students and researchers a foundation in inference and estimation using graphical models. Instead of exhaustive coverage of this rather broad area, the course aims at in depth coverage of a small number of topics, aiming for a level of understanding where members can actually incorporate (some of) the models in their own research applications in addition to appreciating their fundamental origins and similarities and differences.
