Empirical Inference

Overview
Publications

I work on empirical inference on image data. Taking a photo is a measurement process, which can be affected by different types of errors. This includes motion blur, optical aberrations, and noise.

With prior knowledge of both the typical image content and the source of corruption, the measurement error can be removed to a large extent. In particular, I'm interested in using machine learning techniques to extract and model this prior knowledge.

Probabilistic Progress Bars

Kiefel, M., Schuler, C., Hennig, P.

Abstract

Predicting the time at which the integral over a stochastic process reaches a target level is a value of interest in many applications. Often, such computations have to be made at low cost, in real time. As an intuitive example that captures many features of this problem class, we choose progress bars, a ubiquitous element of computer user interfaces. These predictors are usually based on simple point estimators, with no error modelling. This leads to fluctuating behaviour confusing to the user. It also does not provide a distribution prediction (risk values), which are crucial for many other application areas. We construct and empirically evaluate a fast, constant cost algorithm using a Gauss-Markov process model which provides more information to the user.
