Anotation:

This advanced machine learning course covers learning and parameter estimation for structured models like Markov Random Fields, Belief Networks and (stochastic) Deep Neural Networks.

Study targets:

The course aims to communicate knowledge on theory and algorithms for the two currently most successful branches of structured model learning - statistical learning and structured output learning.

Course outlines:

(1) Markov Random Fields & Gibbs Random Fields
(2) Belief Networks & Stochastic Neural Networks
(3) Learning of structured output classifiers by Perceptron
(4) Structured Output Support Vector Machines
(5) Learning max-sum classifiers by SO-SVM
(6) Optimization methods for SO-SVM
(7) Maximum Likelihood learning for MRFs
(8) Variational Autoencoders
(9) Variational Bayesian inference for DNNs
(10) Generative adversarial networks

Exercises outline:

The seminars will be dedicated to discussions and deepening the knowledge acquired at the lectures.
