• AM Seminar: Enhanced Resolution Imaging in Strongly Scattering Media

    Jack Baskin Engineering Baskin Engineering 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA

    Presenter: Chrysoula Tsogka, Professor, Applied Mathematics, UC Merced Description: In a strongly scattering medium, waves undergo multiple scattering that is usually seen as an obstacle to imaging. Time-reversal experiments show the opposite: waves re-emitted into the medium refocus on their source more sharply than in a homogeneous medium, because scattering makes the array appear larger […]

  • Statistics Seminar: Randomization Posteriors and Generalized Bayesian Inference

    Jack Baskin Engineering Baskin Engineering 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA

    Presenter: Edric Tam, Warren Alpert Fellow in AI and Computational Biology, Department of Biomedical Data Science, Stanford University Description: A longstanding question in Bayesian analysis concerns the role of randomization. We introduce randomization posteriors, a class of generalized Bayesian updates obtained by averaging over an auxiliary randomization law. A particularly relevant instance assigns random weights […]
