Talks and presentations
Conformal Prediction as Bayesian Quardrature
Presentation, Bayesian Reading Group, Toronto, ON, Canada
This presentation discusses the paper Conformal Prediction as Bayesian Quardrature. It demonstrates a clever reformulation to recover conformal methods by the posterior mean over quantiles.
Convex and Nonconvex Optimization for Low Rank Matrix Completion
Presentation, Topics in Spectral Methods and Nonlinear Optimization, Chicago, IL, USA
This presentation reviews the progress of convex and nonconvex approaches that deal with low-rank matrix completion and aims to unravel the inherent synergies between these two approaches.
Inverse Autoregressive Flows
Presentation, Seminar in Advanced Bayesian Methodology, Chicago, IL, USA
This presentation discusses the interplay between Variational Inference and Normalizing Flows, and explains a specific type of NF called inverse autoregressive flow (IAF) proposed in this paper.
