AM Seminar: Multiscale Modeling of Cellular Membranes and Oncogenic Proteins
Presenter: Liam Stanton, Professor, San Jose State University Description: In this talk, I will present a multiscale model for cellular membranes, which is trained on molecular dynamics simulations. The model is constructed within the formalism of dynamic density functional theory and can be extended to include features such as the presence of proteins and membrane […]
Statistics Seminar: Rotated Mean-Field Variational Inference and Iterative Gaussianization
Presenter: Sifan Liu, Assistant Professor, Department of Statistical Science, Duke University Description:Mean-field variational inference (MFVI) approximates a target distribution with a product distribution in the standard coordinate system, offering a scalable approach to Bayesian inference but often severely underestimating uncertainty due to neglected dependence. We show that MFVI can be greatly improved when performed along […]
