Location: 232A Withers Hall, NC State Main Campus Title: Generalized Bayesian Inference for Dynamic Random Dot Product Graphs Presenter: Josh Loyal Abstract: The random dot product graph is a popular model for network data with extensions that accommodate dynamic (time-varying) networks. However, two significant deficiencies exist in the dynamic random dot product graph literature: (1) no…

Location: 232A Withers Hall, NC State Main Campus Title: Vertex alignment and changepoint localization in network time series Presenter: Zachary Lubberts Abstract: Existing methodology for changepoint localization in an evolving time series of networks generally relies on accurately prescribed vertex correspondence between network realizations at different times. However, such vertex alignments are often misspecified or…

Location: 232A Withers Hall, NC State Main Campus Title: Building faster and more expressive BART models Presenter: Sameer Deshpande Abstract: Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART) is a highly effective nonparametric regression model that approximates unknown functions with a sum of binary regression trees. Most implementations of BART are based on trees that (i) recursively partition…
