Probabilistic Models and Machine Learning is a PhD-level course about how to design and use probability models. We study their mathematical properties, algorithms for computing with them…

Who teaches STCS GR6701

What students said

David Blei · 2026 · 2026

all sorts of things related to bayesian modeling - various models, various inference techniques. overall, a very thorough and well organized experience.

Genevera Allen · 2024 · 2024

Good overview of statistical methods. Very broad class that touches on a variety of topics.

David Blei · 2026 · 2026

Many familiar models (Gaussian Mixture Models, Generalized Linear Models, VAEs, etc.) in the framework of probabilistic machine learning.

Genevera Allen · 2024 · 2024

some basics in probabilistic models and machine learning, including lasso, ridge, GLM, trees, clustering. The class also covers some practical issues like validation and interpretation.

David Blei · 2026 · 2026

ML and neural networks but from a Bayesian perspective

Genevera Allen · 2024 · 2024

this was a very engaging course in statistics ML, the most useful part was the practical advice on how to do proper model training

David Blei · 2026 · 2026

I learned principles of graphical models, their application and background.

David Blei · 2026 · 2026

different models (LDA, exp famility, GLM, NN, etc) and inference methods (MAP, Gibbs sampling, VI, BBVI etc)

David Blei · 2026 · 2026

Different type of probabilistic models and inference algorithms

David Blei · 2026 · 2026

A learned a lot: different statistical models and when to apply them regarding the structure of data. Inference algorithms that allow for inference of complex models. Also, state of the art topics on Statistics that bridge deep learning with probabilistic modeling.
