I noticed that the course list doesn't cover several topics that are popular on LW. Some suggestions:

Game theory - Fudenberg and Tirole

K-complexity - Li and Vitanyi

Causality - Pearl

And maybe something on cryptography, but I don't know enough about it to recommend a good book.

Do you think Causality is a superior recommendation to Probabilistic Graphical Models?

The material covered in Causality is more like a subset of that in PGM. PGM is like an encyclopedia, and Causality is a comprehensive introduction to one application of PGMs.

Thanks. That was what I thought, but I haven't read Causality yet.

I haven't read PGM. Maybe you could ask Ilya Shpitser, he knows this stuff much better than I do.
