Message-ID: <4C8A7323.8050302@cs.cmu.edu> Hi Lab! http://www.wingsoverpittsburgh.com/ http://www.wingsoverpittsburgh.com/Airshow2010/staticdisplays.html http://www.wingsoverpittsburgh.com/Airshow2010/performers.html http://www.wingsoverpittsburgh.com/Airshow2010/information.html Saturday and Sunday, this weekend! For those of us in the lab who have worked on the USAF research, it's a special treat, but it's just impressive even to see the awe-inspiring tricks and formations that are flown with these amazing planes. It's a lot of fun to get close-up tours of the planes that are kept on the ground (see static displays URL above). Kid friendly, too! Bring your cameras and lawn chairs! I am probably going on Sunday. Text me if you're going 412-229-7356, and we can meet up. Hope to see some Auton Lab T-Shirts there! - Mike P.S. Yes, You will have to forgive their web design skills... they really are better at flying planes! Hope to see you there!

You may see some of the aircraft whose maintenance has recently dramatically improved due to the use of Auton Lab software (Mike will be able to show you which aircraft exactly :) Artur On 9/10/2010 2:04 PM, Michael J.

He will be giving a job talk at noon in NSH 3001. Please come and listen to his talk. We will arrange lunch for the talk as well. His CV is attached. Jeff. ps. please let me know if this happens to be a bad time to hold his job talk. we can still shift it an hour or so forward or back if it helps. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Jeff. ------------------------------------------------- Time-Series Prediction in the Presence of Changepoints and Faults We will present a Bayesian approach to time-series prediction on functions that can undergo various types of sudden, drastic changes. We will address both changepoints (when the underlying process changes behavior) and faults (when our observation mechanism changes in nature). The inference will be powered by Gaussian processes. Typical covariance functions used in Gaussian process inference are stationary and therefore inappropriate for the functions we will consider. We will introduce nonstationary covariance functions to model various types of changepoints. To make predictions, we will estimate the full posterior predictive distribution by approximately marginalizing the hyperparameters of our model using Bayesian numerical integration. We can also perform probabilistic changepoint detection as a natural byproduct of the algorithm. For faults, we will propose a flexible observation model that can model various types of changes in the observation process. We will illustrate these methods on several real-world functions.
