Erik B. Sudderth, Statistical Computation & Perception
I am a Professor of Computer Science and Statistics, and Chancellor's Fellow, at the University of California, Irvine. My Learning, Inference, & Vision Group develops statistical methods for scalable machine learning, with applications in artificial intelligence, computer vision, and the natural and social sciences. My research affiliations at UC Irvine include:
For a tutorial introduction to probabilistic modeling and approximate inference, see the background chapter of my doctoral thesis, advised by Professors Alan Willsky and William Freeman at MIT EECS. My postdoctoral research at Berkeley EECS, advised by Professors Michael Jordan and Stuart Russell, focused on Bayesian nonparametric models (see my CVPR tutorial).
