Traditional galaxy-galaxy lensing is a well-established method of probing the statistical properties of the Universe's matter and galaxy distribution. However, this measure does not carry all the statistical information, provided the matter…

Bayesian change-point detection, together with latent variable models, allows to perform segmentation over high-dimensional time-series. We assume that change-points lie on a lower-dimensional manifold where we aim to infer subsets of…

The changes in brightness of an astronomical source as a function of time are key probes into that source's physics. Periodic and quasi-periodic signals are indicators of fundamental time (and length) scales in the system, while stochastic…
