In short, I am interested in the application of Nonparametric Bayesian methods to Machine Learning. These methods let the data express itself more fully than parametric methods which, loosely speaking, only ask a predefined set of questions to the data even if it has more to say. Gaussian Processes and Dirichlet Processes are some examples in this category. |
