bayesian inference sequential Monte Carlo

Bayesian inference provides a natural framework for quantifying uncertainty in parameter estimates and model predictions, for combining heterogeneous sources of information, and for conditioning sequential predictions on data. Posterior simulation in Bayesian inference often proceeds via Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) or sequential Monte Carlo (SMC), but the associated computational expense and convergence issues can present significant bottlenecks in large-scale or dynamically complex problems.

bayesian inference Stochastic Methods and Algorithms

Between July 17 to 22 of 2022, the 15th International Conference on Monte Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo Methods in Scientific Computing was held in Linz, Austria. A postdoctoral fellow of our group, André Carlon, presented a joint work with Joakim Beck and Prof. Raúl Tempone named "Adaptive stochastic gradient descent for Bayesian optimal experimental design." Abstract: Experiments play a central role in many fields of science. Usually, it is of the interest of the investigators to perform experiments as efficiently as possible. However, finding the optimal design for an experiment can be a

bayesian inference Stochastic Methods and Algorithms

A postdoctoral fellow of our group Dr. Andre Carlon participated in the recently concluded 5th international conference on Uncertainty Quantification in Computational Science and Engineering and presented a talk on Adaptive double-loop Monte Carlo gradient estimators for Bayesian optimal experimental design. The conference held at Athens, Greece between 12-14 June, 2023. Abstract: Designing experiments is a challenging task. Models of experiments can be used to improve their design and maximize informativeness. In Bayesian Optimal Experimental Design (OED) with non-linear models, one uses the
