Brief Introduction
What the ??? I'm doing
I'm working with Marcus Frean in on-line Bayesian learning using sequential Monte Carlo methods. I've been looking for parallel adaptive schemes for optimizing the behaviour of standard random walks in the parameters space. The sequential learning method will be used for modelling dynamic environments in Bayesian data fusion problems.Talks - Papers
