Alumni visit School of Computer Science
A group of alumni who studied in the school over 20 years ago (graduating classes of 1994, 1995 and 1996) organised an informal reunion last month. During their stay in town they organised a visit to the school, where they sampled the school coffee, acquired a coveted CS mug and reminisced around the photo boards. … Alumni visit School of Computer Science

IDIR Summer Workshop 2018
The St Andrews Institute for Data-Intensive Research (IDIR) was set up in September 2014 to provide a focus for research and teaching activities across the University driven by access to “big data”. IDIR does not directly sponsor or manage any research of its own: rather, we help researchers to collaborate within and beyond their home … IDIR Summer Workshop 2018
Semantics for probabilistic programming, Dr Chris Heunen
Semantics for probabilistic programming, Dr Chris Heunen 03.10.17, 1pm, Room JCB 1.33B Abstract: Statistical models in e.g. machine learning are traditionally expressed in some sort of flow charts. Writing sophisticated models succintly is much easier in a fully fledged programming language. The programmer can then rely on generic inference algorithms instead of having to craft one for … Semantics for probabilistic programming, Dr Chris Heunen

Monads and Lenses – Dr James Cheney
Talk Title: Monads and Lenses Abstract: Monads are an abstraction that can be used to mathematically model computational effects (among other things). Lenses are an abstraction for bidirectional computation, a generalization of the view-update problem. In this talk I will discuss ways to combine them and why it might be interesting to do so. … Monads and Lenses – Dr James Cheney
