Study of automatic machine learning methods with focus on learning the structure of Bayesian networks and Markov networks

Machine Learning is an exciting topic of programming computers to learn the underlying model automatically when presented with examples. When the number of variables involved in the problem is even moderately large, the modeling problem become intractable thereby requiring the use of probabilistic graphical models such as Bayesian networks (which are directed graphs) and Markov networks (which are undirected graphs). In this seminar we will study recent papers in the top conferences such as ICML and NIPS where different application domains for structure learning are explored.
