[13] Adji Bousso Dieng - Deep Probabilistic Graphical Modeling

The Thesis Review

Adji Bousso Dieng is currently a Research Scientist at Google AI, and will be starting as an assistant professor at Princeton University in 2021. Her research focuses on combining probabilistic graphical modeling and deep learning to design models for structured high-dimensional data. Her PhD thesis is titled "Deep Probabilistic Graphical Modeling", which she completed in 2020 at Columbia University. We discuss her work on combining graphical models and deep learning, including models and algorithms, the value of interpretability and probabilistic models, as well as applications and making an impact through research.
