Probabilistic Learning: Theory and Algorithms   
Description: The course will provide a tutorial introduction to the basic principles of probabilistic modeling and then demonstrate the application of these principles to the analysis, development, and practical use of machine learning algorithms. Topics covered will include probabilistic modeling, defining likelihoods, parameter estimation using likelihood and Bayesian techniques, probabilistic approaches to classification, clustering, regression, and related topics such as model selection, bias/variance, and density estimation.

Probability and Statistical Inference   
Description: In this course we apply the mathematical techniques of probability to estimation and hypothesis testing, the formal methods by which we learn from noisy data, random samples, and other such uncertain real-world measurements. We culminate with linear regression, and introduce the powerful framework of Bayesian inference.
