Cataloging the Visible Universe through Bayesian Inference at Petascale
Jeffrey Regier, Kiran Pamnany, Keno Fischer +9
Astronomical catalogs derived from wide-field imaging surveys are an important tool for understanding the Universe. We construct an astronomical catalog from 55 TB of imaging data…
Fast Black-box Variational Inference through Stochastic Trust-Region Optimization
Jeffrey Regier, Michael I. Jordan, Jon McAuliffe
We introduce TrustVI, a fast second-order algorithm for black-box variational inference based on trust-region optimization and the reparameterization trick. At each iteration, Trus…
Celeste: Variational inference for a generative model of astronomical images
Jeffrey Regier, Andrew Miller, Jon McAuliffe +5
We present a new, fully generative model of optical telescope image sets, along with a variational procedure for inference. Each pixel intensity is treated as a Poisson random vari…
Subtree power analysis finds optimal species for comparative genomics
Jon D. McAuliffe, Michael I. Jordan, Lior Pachter
Sequence comparison across multiple organisms aids in the detection of regions under selection. However, resource limitations require a prioritization of genomes to be sequenced. T…
