(presented by Vesa Höltta).
Stochastic methods such as MCMC sampling, simulated annealing and genetic
algorithms are currently at the forefront of approximate techniques for
dealing with computationally demanding problems. This course presents
these algorithms and their underlying theory, with the goal of learning to
apply the methods to novel problems and achieving a broad understanding of
their common foundations.
