Probabilistic Graphical Models

Foundations of Probabilistic Graphical Models: Provide a comprehensive introduction to probabilistic graphical models (PGMs), including their purpose, fundamental concepts, and types (e.g., Bayesian networks, Markov networks). Discuss the representation of complex probability distributions and dependencies using graphical structures. Graph Theory and Probability Foundations: Explore the underlying graph theory and probability principles essential for understanding PGMs. Cover topics such as nodes, edges, directed and undirected graphs, conditional independence, and joint probability distributions. Provide insights into how these principles are used to model real-world problems. Applications and Case Studies: Examine the applications of PGMs in various domains such as machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing, and bioinformatics. Provide case studies and examples to illustrate how PGMs are used to solve practical problems and make predictions based on complex data.
