报告摘要：
The problem of detecting rare events of interest in massive data streams and large complex networks is ubiquitous. The rare events may represent opportunities with exceptional returns or anomalies associated with high costs or potential catastrophic consequences. In this talk, we lay out an active inference and learning approach to rare event detection when the total number of hypotheses is large, the observations are noisy, and the prior knowledge on the rare events may be as little as “they are different from the nominal.”
