Thibault Randrianarisoa: Gaussian Variational Predictive Posteriors of Wide NNs Often Resemble the Prior
When and Where
Speakers
Description
Welcome to our casual research seminar organized in the Department of Statistical Sciences at the University of Toronto. Our aim is to explore the diverse research conducted by our faculty, students, and postdocs. Talks usually last 30 to 45 minutes, followed by discussions. We cover current research, overviews of emerging topics, and more. Some pizza and soda will be offered before the seminar around 12:20pm.
On November 4th, join Thibault Randrianarisoa for a talk, Gaussian Variational Predictive Posteriors of Wide NNs Often Resemble the Prior. The seminar will present the work developed for Bayesian inference for HMMs under multimodality with an application to ecological time series.
Seminar organizers: Christopher Blier-Wong & Biprateep Dey & Dehan Kong & Kathleen Miao & Chao Wang.
