Elham Mirfarah (University of Leeds) – An Introduction to Mixture of Experts Modelling and My Contributions to the Field

In this seminar, I will provide an insightful introduction to the fascinating world of Mixture of Experts (MoE) modelling, a versatile technique used across various fields. I will explore the fundamentals of MoE models, discussing their structure and practical applications. I will then highlight my contributions to this field, particularly in handling datasets with censored observations. Finally, I will conclude by sharing some current challenges I am passionate about, hoping to spark interest in potential collaborations within the school.
