David Kristjanson Duvenaud

E-mail:

My interests lie in the fields of machine learning, Bayesian statistics, and neuroscience. My advisors at Cambridge are Carl Rasmussen and Zoubin Ghahramani. My previous advisor was Kevin Murphy at the University of British Columbia.

I spent the last two summers at Google Research, in the Video Content Analysis group.

I'm currently visiting the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, in the Empirical Inference group.

I won a biological prediction contest, the DREAM4 Predictive Signaling Network Modeling Challenge, using a very simple model inspired by our causal learning paper: a Gaussian process regression from actions to protein concentrations.
