1 January 9, 2024 Probabilistic modeling is a branch of machine learning which uses probability distributions to describe complex systems. At the highest level, this course will be about mathematical modeling, which is a fundamental tool in science and engineering – in a model, we use mathematical objects to represent a system, variables to describe quantities we care about, and equations to ...
