Topic

The course focuses on optimization and inference and on applying these techniques to concrete HCI problems. The course will specifically look at Bayesian methods for solving decoding, adaptation, learning and optimization problems in HCI. The lectures center on hands-on Python programming interleaved with theory and practical examples grounded in problems of wide interest in human-computer interaction.

Instructors

The following faculty members will teach the course:


Local install instructions

If you are not using mybinder.org, then you can download and install a local version:
