Covers statistical mechanics, conformal field theories, and critical exponents, emphasizing the importance of universality and renormalization group flows.
Covers the relationship between conformal field theory and Liouville quantum gravity, focusing on correlation functions and the implications of cutting LQG by SLE loops.
Introduces Hidden Markov Models, explaining the basic problems and algorithms like Forward-Backward, Viterbi, and Baum-Welch, with a focus on Expectation-Maximization.
