Probabilistic method for toric ideals

In this talk we will discuss a probabilistic algorithm that can be used to obtain a generating set of a toric ideal. Apart from being of interest in computational algebra, the problem has applications in statistics, where toric ideal generators form Markov bases for statistical models.
