Research title: Interactive Animated Visualizations of Probabilistic Models

Research Summary

Research Group

My research lab is situated within the Inference, Dynamics and Interaction research group.

Current Research

My research focuses on the creation of novel representations of probabilistic models that incorporate animated and interactive visualizations for the communication of the uncertainty about the true value of the model's variables. The research question that I will try to answer in the contexts of this research will be whether these novel representations of probabilistic models help people better understand and interpret models and make explainable and rational decisions.

Import outcome of my research so far is the Interactive Probabilistic Models Explorer (IPME) tool - available here.

Research Interests

  • Bayesian Probabilistic Models
  • Probabilistic Programming Languages (PyMC3, Stan)
