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.
