The course covers some advanced models in machine learning.
The models are analyzed mainly from a Bayesian perspective.
The course is also a master's course on the LiU programme 'Statistics and Machine Learning'.
The course is organized into four topics:
- Graphical Models
- Hidden Markov Models
- Gaussian Process Regression and Classification
- State-space models
Each topic includes lectures, a computer lab and a follow-up seminar.
In conjunction with the LinStat 2014 a mini-course (8h) entitled 'Survey sampling and linear models' will be held by professor Stephen Haslett, Massey University, New Zealand and professor Simo Puntanen, University of Tampere, Finland, August 23-24.
The course is sponsored by GRAPES and GRAPES will refund travel and accommodation costs for PhD students at Swedish universities.
