Title: “Objective Assessment of Psychiatric Patients via Machine Learning” Advisor: Antonio Artés Rodríguez. ABSTRACT Mental disorders are still a source of not-well-understood human suffering. They affect one out of four people in the world, and they are more costly to treat than cancer and diabetes together. One of the reasons of the high economic burden…

Title: “Probabilistic Models and Natural Language Processing in Health” Advisor: Antonio Artés Rodríguez. ABSTRACT We are living the Artificial Intelligence (AI) era. Whatever we want, we are surrounded by technology, computers, intelligent devices, and incredible machines able to perform more and more complex activities from our daily routine, from a writing predictor to a face…

Title: “Nested filtering methods for Bayesian inference in state space models” Advisor: Joaquín Míguez Arenas. ABSTRACT A common feature to many problems in some of the most active fields of science is the need to calibrate (i.e., estimate the parameters) and then forecast the time evolution of high-dimensional dynamical systems using sequentially collected data. In…

Title Medical Data Wrangling With Sequential Variational Autoencoders Authors D. Barrejón, Pablo M. Olmos and Antonio Artés-Rodríguez Abstract Medical data sets are usually corrupted by noise and missing data. These missing patterns are commonly assumed to be completely random, but in medical scenarios, the reality is that these patterns occur in bursts due to sensors…

In this aid, the beneficiary is Alejandro Cano Sánchez and the abstract of the project is the following. The project is focused on the analysis and development of advanced methods for orbital uncertainty characterization applied to space surveillance and tracking of space debris, including the following aspects: modelling of the uncertainty in dynamical models and…

In this aid, the beneficiary is Arturo Armario Romero and the abstract of the project is the following. The goal of this project, named as ESPECTRO, is to provide eB2 with cutting-edge tools to combine and learn from multi-modal information. On the one hand, by providing classical methods with larger expressivity using BNP/ARD priors combined…

Authors Pablo Moreno-Muñoz, Antonio Artes-Rodríguez, Mauricio Álvarez Abstract We present a framework for transfer learning based on modular variational Gaussian processes (GP). We develop a module-based method that having a dictionary of well fitted GPs, each model being characterised by its hyperparameters, pseudo-inputs and their corresponding posterior densities, one could build ensemble GP models without…
