Bayesian methods — such as variational inference or even ensembles — have shown promise in improving robustness and uncertainty estimation but are often computationally expensive, paving the way for more efficient methods. Furthermore, some are difficult to implement, a problem we address in the PyTorch library TorchUncertainty. Finally, since Bayesian methods on the weight space are difficult to scale to the current computer vision models, we suggest exploring other arguably more adapted lower-dimensional avenues. + biography: Olivier Laurent is a Ph.D. student at Université Paris-Saclay & Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IPP), supervised by Gianni Franchi, Emanuel Aldea, and Adrien Chan-Hon-Tong. His research interests include the robustness of deep learning models - from uncertainty quantification to explainability - as well as their computational efficiency. + photo: "olivier_laurent" -- date: December 12, 2024 at 2pm EET +- date: December 19, 2024 at 2pm EET title: "Turing.jl: a general-purpose probabilistic programming language (Tentative)" presenter: Tor Fjelde affiliation: University of Cambridge diff --git a/assets/speakers/olivier_laurent.jpg b/assets/speakers/olivier_laurent.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c2642c0 Binary files /dev/null and b/assets/speakers/olivier_laurent.jpg differ
