CS3936: Topic in Modern Algorithms (Fall 2025)


Introduction

This semester, the course will focus on high-dimensional probability. A more friendly name might be algorithms for big data. I will not talk much about Markov chain Monte Carlo since the (fascinating) topic has been covered by my previous courses (see CS3936 (Fall 2024) and AI2613 (Spring 2025)).
