Computational statistics and machine learning (ML) are closely related, and there are many opportunities for cross-fertilization of ideas between the two fields. Both can benefit from greater interaction, and the two papers being discussed here highl...

The deterioration of transport infrastructure earthworks is a global problem, with negative impacts for infrastructure resilience, becoming of increasing significance as existing infrastructure ages. Key mechanisms which affect this deterioration inc... Read More about Emulating long-term weather-driven transportation earthworks deterioration models to support asset management.

A Bayesian spatio‐temporal model for short‐term forecasting of precipitation fields (2023)
Journal Article
Johnson, S. R., Heaps, S. E., Wilson, K. J., & Wilkinson, D. J. (2023). A Bayesian spatio‐temporal model for short‐term forecasting of precipitation fields. Environmetrics, 34(8), https://doi.org/10.1002/env.2824

With extreme weather events becoming more common, the risk posed by surface water flooding is ever increasing. In this work we propose a model, and associated Bayesian inference scheme, for generating short-term, probabilistic forecasts of localised...
