About the Centre
The Centre conducts research at the intersection of two actively developing areas of data analysis: deep learning and Bayesian methods of machine learning methods. Deep learning is a section that involves building very complex models (neural networks) to solve problems such as classifying images or music, transferring an art style from picture to photograph, predicting the next words in a text. Within the framework of the Bayesian approach, probabilistic models based on the apparatus of probability theory and mathematical statistics are considered for solving such problems.
The Centre was created on the basis of the Dmitry Vetrov's Bayesian Methods Research Group.
Scientific Expedition to Hainan: HSE Scientists Organise Conference on Statistical AI in China
The Statistical AI Conference was held in Sanya, Hainan Island, China, from 24 to 28 August 2026. The international event brought together leading experts in statistics, machine learning, and applied AI. Alexey Naumov, Director of the AI and Digital Science Institute at the HSE Faculty of Computer Science, and Sergey Samsonov, Head of the International Laboratory of Stochastic Algorithms and High-Dimensional Inference, were among the conference organisers.
