Another ML professor job talk on Thursday.
There might be some time for students or postdocs interested in meeting our
visitor, so let Linda know if you are interested.

*Résumé:*
 In this talk I will explore the role that machine learning models,
algorithms, and inference procedures play in several areas of science.
Likelihood-free inference, or approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) is a
framework for performing Bayesian inference in a wide variety of
simulation-based sciences, from population genetics to computational
psychology.    I will first describe recent algorithmic improvements in ABC
inference which are due in part from viewing inference from a machine
learning perspective.  I will then describe ongoing work using deep neural
networks to model  heterogeneous pan-cancer data  and challenging tumour
segmentation tasks whose long term goal is targeted immunotherapy
treatment.  Finally I will touch upon recent work on compressing neural
networks using simple machine learning techniques, resulting in sparse and
quantized parameters which, when applied to scientific domains, provides
parsimonious models that are simple enough to be understood by experts.
