Inference in Models with Latent Hierarchies

Note new time

Many naturally occuring datasets have underlying hierarchical structures, motivating the desire for probabilistic models to capture and exploit these properties. In this talk, I will present three things:
  1. a model which uses multiple concurrent hierarchies as its latent data structure,
  2. a method of making MCMC inference for such models much faster,
  3. plots showing the predictive performance of this model

This talk is part of the Inference Group series.
