who am i here

Hello, my name is Arijus. At this point I do doctorate studies at Magnet which is a research team in Lille, people here in some way work on computing science through decentralised learning, privacy, natural language processing, network theory...

I work with Jan Ramon. At this point I study graph models characterised by some stochastic structural properties, I try to look how such properties could be useful for modelling decentralised communication.

how did i get here

Before Lille I worked on Bayesian methods at Aalto. Before that in 2017 I received my master's degree in computing science and mathematics from Glasgow. And in 2012 I got my Brandos Atestatas from the Juozas Balčikonis gymnasium, Panevėžys.

• https://github.com/elfi-dev/elfi is a library for approximate Bayesian computations, where Henri Vuollekoski and I put Marko's idea.
• Topic models in mass spectrometry imaging is what Simon Rogers helped with for the master's.
