This lecture describes advanced concepts and applications of quantum optics. It emphasizes the connection with ongoing research, and with the fast growing field of quantum technologies. The topics cover some aspects of quantum information processing, quant ...
Machine learning and data analysis are becoming increasingly central in sciences including physics. In this course, fundamental principles and methods of machine learning will be introduced and practised. ...
The students understand tools from the statistical physics of disordered systems, and apply them to study computational and statistical problems in graph theory, discrete optimisation, inference and machine learning. ...
This course covers the statistical physics approach to computer science problems, with an emphasis on heuristic & rigorous mathematical technics, ranging from graph theory and constraint satisfaction to inference to machine learning, neural networks and st ...
This course gives an introduction to probability theory and stochastic calculus in discrete and continuous time. The fundamental notions and techniques introduced in this course have many applications in finance, for example for option pricing, risk mana ...
We learn how to control the nonasymptotic and random behavior of collections of estimators, when indexed by classes of functions/sets. Examples range from prototypical estimators used by statisticians, to nonparametric models used in machine learning. ...
Students will learn the core concepts and techniques of network analysis with emphasis on causal inference. Theory and
application will be balanced, with students working directly with network data throughout the course. ...
In this course we will focus on stochastic approaches for modelling phenomena taking place in multivariate spaces. Our main focus will be on random field models and on statistical methods for model-based spatial statistics. ...
