IDS.190 - Topics in Bayesian Modeling and Computation Abstract: Many algorithms take prohibitively long to run on modern, large datasets. But even in complex data sets, many data points may be at least partially redundant for some task of interest. So one might instead construct and use a weighted subset of the data (called a…
IDS.190 - Topics in Bayesian Modeling and Computation Speaker: Brian Patton (Google AI) Abstract: TensorFlow Probability provides a toolkit to enable researchers and practitioners to integrate uncertainty with gradient-based deep learning on modern accelerators. In this talk we'll walk through some practical problems addressed using TFP; discuss the high-level interfaces, goals, and principles of the…
IDS.190Â Topics in Bayesian Modeling and Computation *Note:Â The speaker this week will give two shorter talks within the usual session Title: Behavior of the Gibbs sampler in the imbalanced case Abstract:Â Â Many modern applications collect highly imbalanced categorical data, with some categories relatively rare. Bayesian hierarchical models combat data sparsity by borrowing information, while also…
