We focus on challenges that arise in modern datasets and multi-view learning. Our methods development is motivated by applications in molecular microbiology, microbiome multi-omics, spatial multi-omics, and loss reserves in non-life insurance. Some areas that we use to develop methods include matrix factorization, mixture models, generative models, approximation theory, nonparametric statistics, computational statistics, spatial statistics, Bayesian modeling, and Bayesian sampling methods.
