Some topics of Bayesian Inference

27 May 2024, 11:00 → 31 May 2024, 13:00 Europe/Madrid

Alberto RAMOS, Bryan Zaldivar

The course will consist of 10 hours, 2h per day. The outline is the following:

1. Markov Processes; Markov Chain Monte Carlo; Hybrid (a.k.a. Hamilton) Monte Carlo. 

2. Fundamentals of Bayesian Inference. Laplace Approximation 

3. Variational Inference; Kullback-Leibler divergence. Working example with Tensorflow v2 (python)

4. Inference in function space: Gaussian Processes, Implicit Processes.

5. Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC). Likelihood-free method. Normalizing flows.

 

Many of the topics will be accompanied by coding examples.
