Summary
👤
SeniorEliezer Da Silva is an assistant professor and probabilistic machine learning researcher with 11 years of experience bridging Bayesian statistical modeling and practical ML systems. He co-founded and directs the Nordic Probabilistic AI School, translating advanced probabilistic methods into training programs while maintaining an active research portfolio across European and Brazilian institutions. His work spans deep generative models, efficient Bayesian inference, and probabilistic recommender systems—topics grounded in a PhD on factorization models and reinforced by industry stints building robust data collection and mobile-integrated systems. Known for combining theory with engineering, he has developed compute-efficient algorithms and prototypes that target real-world constraints like low-connectivity data collection. Based in Coimbra, Portugal, he blends academic teaching, program leadership, and hands-on research across probabilistic AI and applied statistics.
