Albert Kjøller Jacobsen

DDSA PhD Fellow | Geometric Approximate Bayesian Inference

I am a DDSA PhD Fellow at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), supervised by Georgios Arvanitidis from the Section for Cognitive Systems. My research advances approximate Bayesian inference by leveraging differential geometry. I got into this through my earlier work on geometry in optimization for improving generalization performance.

I’m particularly interested in:

  • probabilistic machine learning and approximate Bayesian inference,
  • deep learning theory and optimization,
  • topics from geometry in machine learning.

Aug 30, 2026 I’m attending the Machine Learning Summer School at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen for the next two weeks.
Jul 30, 2026 I got an honourable mention for the best poster at EDS in Lisbon. Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by!
Jul 26, 2026 I’ll be attending the ELLIS Doctoral Symposium (EDS) on Trustworthy AI in Lisbon next week. Looking forward to meeting fellow PhD students as well as giving a talk and a poster presentation on my project in geometric approximate Bayesian inference.
Jul 04, 2026 New preprint: “Beyond Laplace: Closed-form wrapped Gaussian posterior approximations on statistical manifolds”. Amazing work by Marcelo and I’m happy to have helped out.
May 18, 2026 New preprint: “Don’t Stop Me Yet: Sampling Loss Minima via Dissipative Riemannian Mechanics”. Super excited about this work – if you like geometry, mechanics or uncertainty quantification, this one is for you.
