Random walks

This is an archive of explorations, in the convex hull of Inference, Probability, Optimisation and Physics. I am putting this together to keep track of the things I study.

About

My name is Stratis. I am a second-year PhD student at the Computational and Biological Learning Lab (CBL) at the University of Cambridge. I am supervised by Carl Rasmussen and advised by Richard Turner. I have broad interests in probabilistic machine learning, see Google Scholar for my recent work.
