Biography

Mark Coates studies how to infer what is happening in a network from noisy or incomplete measurements. His group combines graph machine learning with Bayesian methods that update an estimate as observations arrive. Applications include tracking moving objects from sensor readings and learning about relationships in a network when even the connections are uncertain.
