Bayesian Inference for Correlated Human Experts and Classifiers

ICML 2025poster

Applications of machine learning often involve making predictions based on both model outputs and the opinions of human experts. In this context, we investigate the problem of querying experts for class label predictions, using as few human queries as possible, and leveraging the class probability e…

Deep Continuous-Time State-Space Models for Marked Event Sequences

NeurIPS 2025spotlight

Marked temporal point processes (MTPPs) model sequences of events occurring at irregular time intervals, with wide-ranging applications in fields such as healthcare, finance and social networks. We propose the _state-space point process_ (S2P2) model, a novel and performant model that leverages tech…

Focus on What Matters: Enhancing Medical Vision-Language Models with Automatic Attention Alignment Tuning

ACL 2025long

Medical Large Vision-Language Models (Med-LVLMs) often exhibit suboptimal attention distribution on visual inputs, leading to hallucinated or inaccurate outputs. Existing methods primarily rely on inference-time interventions, which are limited in attention adaptation or require additional supervisi…

Predictive Querying for Autoregressive Neural Sequence Models

NeurIPS 2022accept

In reasoning about sequential events it is natural to pose probabilistic queries such as “when will event A occur next” or “what is the probability of A occurring before B”, with applications in areas such as user modeling, language models, medicine, and finance. These types of queries are complex t…

Detecting and Adapting to Irregular Distribution Shifts in Bayesian Online Learning

NeurIPS 2021poster

We consider the problem of online learning in the presence of distribution shifts that occur at an unknown rate and of unknown intensity. We derive a new Bayesian online inference approach to simultaneously infer these distribution shifts and adapt the model to the detected changes by integrating id…
