Examples

Some examples of Bayesian inference

  • Origins of life/cancer/language and characterization of their respective evolutionary processes
  • Modelling high-throughput genomics data (single-cell sequencing, CRISPR-CAS9, ultra-deep, expression)
  • Black-hole imaging
  • “Classical” tasks: classification, regression, clustering, etc
  • A/B testing and Bayesian optimization
  • Determining fate of the universe from cosmic microwave background
