Course Overview

Bayesian optimization allows developers to leverage Bayesian inference and statistical modeling to efficiently search for the optimal solution in a high-dimensional space. Starting with the fundamentals of statistics and Bayesian statistics, you’ll explore different concepts of machine learning and its applications in software engineering. Next, you’ll discover different strategies for optimizations. Through practical examples and hands-on exercises, you’ll gain proficiency in implementing Bayesian optimi...Show More
