I am interested in bridging machine learning and parallel/distributed computing domains, typically by borrowing ML algorithms, distributing them and applying them to real large scale problems.

My interest is in understanding the fine grain of how language is processed in the mind. I apply machine learning methods to derive models of language from the bottom up, based on large scale corpora, and on EEG, MEG and fMRI recordings of speakers' brain activity.

I am interested in developing algorithms to solve problems that are inspired by biology.
I enjoy learning about network theory and evolution, graph clustering and compression,
and otherwise cool optimization techniques

I am interested in probabilistic graphical models and approximate inference algorithms, nonparametric Bayesian statistics topic modeling, information retrieval and recommender systems.

Sinead Williamson

Sinead Williamson

PostDoc with Eric Xing

Website: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~sinead/

I am interested in Bayesian inference for machine learning. In particular, I am interested in nonparamteric Bayesian methods, and am working on new non-parametric priors for latent variable models. I have worked on applications including text modeling, recommender systems and survival analysis.
