I took COMP9418 in 2026 T2 as part of my Masters of Statistics. Despite the broad name, the course is really one long story about probabilistic graphical models: how to encode a joint distribution as a graph, how to answer queries against it exactly and approximately, and how to learn it from data. If you are deciding whether to enrol, or you are mid-term and drowning, this page collects everything I wish I had on day one.
