Synopsis:

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

Requirements:

- Solid knowledge of of statistical machine learning (cf. BE4M33SSU)

- Basic knowledge of Graphical Models (cf. XEP33GMM)

Syllabus of lectures:

(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

Syllabus of tutorials:

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

Study Objective:

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.
