3-Day Introductory Course in Dubai: Artificial Intelligence with Bayesian Networks & BayesiaLab

Bayesia

<P><SPAN>Go beyond descriptive analytics and enter the realm of probabilistic and causal reasoning with Bayesian networks. Learn all about designing and machine-learning Bayesian networks with BayesiaLab.</SPAN></P>
<P>This highly acclaimed course gives you a comprehensive introduction that allows you to employ Bayesian networks for applied research across many fields, such a biostatistics, decision science, econometrics, ecology, marketing science, petrochemistry, sensory research, sociology, just to name a few.</P>
<P><SPAN>The hallmark of this 3-day course is that every segment on theory is immediately followed by a corresponding practice session using BayesiaLab. Thus, you have the opportunity to implement on your computer what the instructor just presented in his lecture. This includes knowledge modeling, probabilistic reasoning, causal inference, machine learning, probabilistic structural equation models, plus many more examples. Given the strictly limited class size, the instructor is always available to coach you one-on-one as you progress through the exercises.</SPAN></P>
<P>After the end of the course, you can continue your studies as you will have access to a full 60-day license of BayesiaLab Professional. Additionally, two workbooks, plus numerous datasets and sample networks help you to experiment independently with Bayesian networks.</P>
<P>To date, over 600 researchers from all over the world have taken this course. For most of them, Bayesian networks and BayesiaLab have become crucial tools in their research projects.</P>

<H2>About the Instructor</H2>
<P>Dr. Lionel Jouffe is co-founder and CEO of France-based Bayesia S.A.S. Lionel holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Rennes and has been working in the field of Artificial Intelligence since the early 1990s. While working as a Professor/Researcher at ESIEA, Lionel started exploring the potential of Bayesian networks. After co-founding Bayesia in 2001, he and his team have been working full-time on the development BayesiaLab, which has since emerged as the leading software package for knowledge discovery, data mining and knowledge modeling using Bayesian networks. BayesiaLab enjoys broad acceptance in academic communities as well as in business and industry. </P>

<H2>Course Preview</H2>
<P>For a general overview of this field of study, we suggest that you download a free copy of our new book, <A HREF="http://bayesia.com/book" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Bayesian Networks & BayesiaLab.</A> Although by no means mandatory, reading its first three chapters would be an excellent preparation for the course. <BR></P>
