Everyone has their quirks 🤷♂️ With Olivier Marchal, we love finding optimal sub-Gaussian variance proxies 📈 After beta, Dirichlet, and others, it's time for truncated Gaussian & exponential distributions 😄
Fun fact: formulas are in closed form.

Board in 2022 for a 3-year term!
Looking forward to discussing about the place of Bayes in the society with fantastic colleagues!
I am pleased to announce that our proposal on the Bayes-duality project has received (approx) $2.76 million
through JST-ANR's CREST, to develop AI systems that learn adaptively, robustly, and continuously, like humans.

I had to update my resume recently for a grant application... I almost forgot my last year's major achievement -- though I didn't contribute much to this project admittedly 👶
I'm glad to announce we will live stream ABC in Gre[e]noble ⛷️19-20 March, for a greener workshop!
