Bayesian inference for Plackett-Luce ranking models
This paper gives an efficient Bayesian method for inferring the parameters of a PlackettLuce ranking model. Such models are parameterised distributions over rankings of a finite s...

Hierarchical Bayesian Inference in Networks of Spiking Neurons
There is growing evidence from psychophysical and neurophysiological studies that the brain utilizes Bayesian principles for inference and decision making. An important open quest...
