DESCRIPTION:In this\ntalk\, we will introduce sequential Monte Carlo algor
 ithms for sampling from\na sequence of evolving distributions. We will mos
 tly focus on the filtering\nproblem\, i.e.\, learning about the state of t
 he system from currently\navailable data\, and issues such as algorithm de
 generacy\, and rejuvenation.\nFinally\, we might discuss the problem of le
 arning static parameters.\n\nA comprehensive overview on this topic can be
  found\n"here":http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~jordan/courses/260-spring09/rea
