SQUIDS Seminar: Sampling as Bandits: Evaluation-Efficient Design for Black-Box Densities
Speaker: Takuo Matsubara (University of Edinburgh) Abstract: We introduce Bandit Importance Sampling (BIS), a novel class of importance sampling methods designed for scenarios where the target density is computationally expensive to evaluate. In contrast to adaptive importance sampling, which optimises a proposal distribution, BIS directly optimises...

Training course on in situ experiments and digital volume correlation
Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) is a powerful experimental technique that computes 3D full-field displacement and strain maps from volumes images acquired during a deformation process of a material. DVC is the 3D extension of Digital Image Correlation (DIC) which was first described four decades ago. The emergence of DVC started early 2000s with...
