Contributions to Large Scale Bayesian Inference and Adversarial Machine Learning

The field of machine learning (ML) has experienced a major boom in the past years, both in theoretical developments and application areas. However, the rampant adoption of ML methodologies has revealed that models are usually adopted to make decisions without taking into account the uncertainties in...
