Challenges in Structured Models
Date/Time: December 3rd, 3:40 pm
Location: 1312 Hoover
Abstract:
Two fundamental ideas in data science are modeling (representing some phenomenon) and loss functions (representing an agent's priorities). While structured models have shown great potential in problems ranging from natural language processing to computational biology to computer vision, computational difficulties impede their use. After an introduction to data science and structured models, this talk will discuss how modeling, computation, and loss functions interact when building and querying structured models.
