He is a member of the Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence (FCAI), an affiliate researcher of the International Brain Laboratory, and an off-site visiting scholar at New York University. Title: Practical sample-efficient Bayesian inference for models with and without likelihoods Abstract:Bayesian inference in applied fields of science and engineering can be challenging because in the best-case scenario the likelihood is a black-box (e.g., mildly-to-very expensive, no gradients) and more often than not it is not even available, with the researcher being only able to simulate data from the model. In this talk, I review a recent sample-efficient framework for approximate Bayesian inference, Variational Bayesian Monte Carlo (VBMC), which uses only a limited number of potentially noisy log-likelihood evaluations. VBMC produces both a nonparametric approximation of the posterior distribution and an approximate lower bound of the model evidence, useful for model selection. VBMC combines well with a technique we (re)introduced, inverse binomial sampling (IBS), that obtains unbiased and normally-distributed estimates of the log-likelihood via simulation. VBMC has been tested on many real problems (up to 10 dimensions) from computational and cognitive neuroscience, with and without likelihoods. Our method performed consistently well in reconstructing the ground-truth posterior and model evidence with a limited budget of evaluations, showing promise as a general tool for black-box, sample-efficient approximate inference — with exciting potential extensions to more complex cases.

Title: Learning structured neural dynamics from single-trial population recordings Abstract: To understand the complex nonlinear dynamics of neural circuits, we fit a structured state-space model to noisy high-dimensional neural time series. We consider a multi-scale hierarchical generative model for the state-space dynamics to provide human understanding of complex dynamics as hierarchical composition of locally linear dynamical systems. We use Bayesian inference methods and an initialization strategy for both the posterior state trajectory and the posterior dynamics. The expressive power and interpretability of the inferred dynamics are evaluated for neural computation systems. The talk will be based on these papers: Nassar, J., Linderman, S. W., Bugallo, M. & Park, I. M. Tree-Structured Recurrent Switching Linear Dynamical Systems for Multi-Scale Modeling. ICLR 2019. Nassar, J., Linderman, S., Zhao, Y., Bugallo, M. & Park, I. M.

Abstract: Imaging of live biological specimens using modern microscopy techniques has revolutionized our understanding of cellular and developmental processes. Nevertheless, the high intensity of light used in these procedures often has a negative impact on the samples, producing light induced toxicity or other undesired effects. I will show how to use deep learning to achieve content-aware image restoration and circumvent or mitigate some of these problems. I will give examples the application of this technique to the zebrafish lateral line. 10 January Jan Happy Hour Thu Jan 10 2019, 6:00 PM 1st Floor Lounge, Rose F Kennedy Center jennifer.hardina@einstein.yu.edu More Happy Hour Like There's No Tomorrow Hosted by: Luke Sjulson and Renata Batista-Brito Labs 28 November Nov GRANT WRITING WORKSHOP for students and postdocs Wed Nov 28 2018, 2:00 PM 901, Rose F Kennedy Center jennifer.hardina@einstein.yu.edu More Hosts: Pablo Castillo Hayden Hatch Pablo Lituma Jose Luis Pena 19 November Nov Machine Learning Reading Group Mon Nov 19 2018, 12:00 PM 451, Price Center/Block Pavilion jennifer.hardina@einstein.yu.edu More Saad Kahn from the Kelly lab will discuss geometric deep learning ,a set of techniques for machine learning on graphs and manifolds,with applications to cheminformatics, gene regulatory networks, and phylogenetic trees.
