Bayesian methods allow for a simple and intuitive representation of the function spaces used by kernel methods. This chapter describes the basic principles of Gaussian Processes, their implementation and their connection to other kernel-based Bayesian estimation methods, such as the Relevance Vector Machine.

Bayesian inference: more than Bayes’s theorem
Bayesian inference gets its name from Bayes’s theorem, expressing posterior probabilities for hypotheses about a data generating process as the (normalized) product of prior probabilities and a likelihood function.

A Bayesian Method for Characterizing Population Heterogeneity
A stylized fact from laboratory experiments is that there is much heterogeneity in human behavior. We present and demonstrate a computationally practical non-parametric Bayesian method for characterizing this heterogeneity.

Introducing Bayesian Analysis With m&m's®: An Active-Learning Exercise for Undergraduates
We present an active-learning strategy for undergraduates that applies Bayesian analysis to candy-covered chocolate m&m’s®. The exercise is best suited for small class sizes and tutorial settings, after students have been introduced to the concepts of ...

A Sequential Algorithm for Signal Segmentation
The problem of event detection in general noisy signals arises in many applications; usually, either a functional form of the event is available, or a previous annotated sample with instances of the event that can be used to train a classification ...

Bayesian Computational Methods [PDF]
In this chapter, we will first present the most standard computational challenges met in Bayesian Statistics, focussing primarily on mixture estimation and on model choice issues, and then relate these problems with computational solutions. Of course, this chapter is only a terse introduction to the problems and solutions related to Bayesian ...

Bayesian Methods for Graph Clustering [PDF]
Networks are used in many scientific fields such as biology, social science, and information technology. They aim at modelling, with edges, the way objects of interest, represented by vertices, are related to each other. Looking for clusters of vertices, also called communities or modules, has appeared to be a powerful approach for capturing the ...
