Learning Outcomes
K5: Know the fundamental definitions and results of probability and statistics and know how to use them to model uncertain systems. S5: Break large or complex problems into smaller, more manageable parts, and apply mathematical or computational analysis techniques to each component. C3: Use numerical or symbolic calculation, statistical analysis, or optimization software to approximate the solution of mathematical problems arising in a professional context and know how to analyze and predict behaviors in different contexts, implementing efficient solutions to complex problems.
Description of contents: programme

Variational Inference and Mean Field Approximation. Methods of Propagating Hope Distributed MCMC Stochastic optimization in variational inference
Learning activities and methodology
A1: CLASSROOM LECTURES. Each subject has two weekly sessions: a lecture session, with more theoretical content, and a reduced session, with more practical content. In this session, the main theoretical content takes place. 100% de presencialidad / A2: FACE-TO-FACE CLASSES: REDUCED (WORKSHOPS, SEMINARS, CASE STUDIES). As indicated above, this session has a more practical content where teachers can carry out some of the examples given. 100% de presencialidad / A3: STUDENT INDIVIDUAL WORK. 0% de presencialidad / A4: LABORATORY SESSION. This is a series of additional hours where teachers reinforce more practical content with students. 100% de presencialidad / A5: FINAL EXAM. 100% de presencialidad M1: SEMINARS AND LECTURES SUPPORTED BY COMPUTER AND AUDIOVISUAL AIDS. / M2: PRACTICAL LEARNING BASED ON CASES AND PROBLEMS, AND EXERCISE RESOLUTION. / M3: INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP OR COOPERATIVE WORK WITH THE OPTION OF ORAL OR WRITTEN PRESENTATION. / M4: INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP TUTORIALS TO RESOLVE DOUBTS AND QUERIES ABOUT THE SUBJECT.
