Jan-Willem van de Meent profile

I am the group leader of the Amsterdam Machine Learning Lab (AMLab). My research interests focus on development of computationally scalable and data-efficient methods for generative AI, with applications to a wide range of domains, including healthcare, neuroscience, robotics, and the modeling of physical systems. Much of my work builds on ideas from probabilistic machine learning and Bayesian statistics; I am probably best known for my contributions to probabilistic programming research.
