The third iteration of Daphne Koller’s Probabilistic Graphical Models class has just started on Coursera. I’d been meaning to take this course since it was initially offered, but found the required time commitment (15-20 hours a week) unfeasible alongside all my other undergraduate classes. However, with my flexible schedule as a graduate student and having others in the lab interested in learning about PGMs, hopefully will be sufficient motivation to successfully try and complete this course. Probabilistic graphical models have become an extremely powerful tool for many domains: within cognitive science they have been cropping up all over the place, so this course is a good excuse to take the time to learn about them deeply!
