Abstract

I provide an overview of FCAI Agile probabilistic AI research program, which develops interactive and AI-assisted processes for building new AI models with practical probabilistic programming. I also discuss common themes in existing workflow patterns in Bayesian statistics and machine learning, and ideas how to assist a user through the complete workflow so that the user expertise is maximally exploited and made stronger.

Machine Learning Coffee seminars are weekly seminars organized by Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence (FCAI) and are held jointly by the Aalto University and the University of Helsinki. The seminars aim to gather people from different fields of science with interest in machine learning. Seminars will be held weekly on Mondays at 9:00-10:00. The location alternates between Aalto University and the University of Helsinki. At Aalto University, talks will be held in Konemiehentie 2, seminar room T6 and at the University of Helsinki in Kumpula, seminar room Exactum D122 (Gustaf Hällströmin katu 2b), unless otherwise noted. Talks will begin at 9:15 and coffee will be served from 9:00.
