ABSTRACT
Recent work on the convergence of posterior distributions enables 
application in problems that are somewhat distant from the traditional 
focal points in mathematical statistics. In this talk we briefly review 
asymptotic posterior concentration, focussing on (enlarged) credible 
sets that can serve as (asymptotic) confidence sets. We derive 
asymptotic confidence sets in four discrete problems from machine 
learning: community detection in sparse stochastic block models, the 
Netflix Prize, trace reconstruction and the so-called “satisfiability 
problem”. [Based partly on joint work with J. van Waaij]
