CTML Seminar Series: Presentations and Resources The following tables provide easy access to presenter information, research topics, and slide decks, making it a valuable resource for all members of the CTML community and anyone interested in the forefront of scientific inquiry.
Don't miss the next session of the CTML Seminar Series on March 12th, where Karissa Huang and Philip Lee will discuss "Surrogate Modeling for Infectious Disease Dynamics Using Machine Learning." This talk will take place from 12:00PM-1:00PM at Berkeley Way West, 5th Floor, Room 5401.
Model complexity can often make parameter estimation challenging and inefficient in epidemiological models. In this work we propose a framework for using surrogate models to estimate the likelihood for compartmental models. The surrogate modeling approach reduces the computational costs of analyzing...
Starting January 24th, the OTMLE (Optimal Transport and Targeted Maximum Likelihood Estimation) reading group will further investigate the geometry of probability spaces and the implications for TMLE’s structure and behavior. Topics include deeper explorations of how optimal transport’s spatial and dynamic properties provide insights into likelihood-based optimization and its role in semiparametric models. Rather than diving into specific optimization techniques like natural gradient descent or Newton’s method, this semester focuses on laying the theoretical groundwork for...
