ISBA²⁴ [call for contributed talks]
Posted in Kids, pictures, Statistics, Travel, University life with tags Bayesian Analysis, Bayesian bridge, call for contributions, conference, deadline for submission, Gran Canale, International Society for Bayesian Analysis, ISBA 2024, Italy, Rialto, San Giobbe, Università Ca' Foscari Venezia, Venice on September 28, 2023 by xi'an
Now that the invited sessions have been selected by the scientific committee of ISBA²⁴ (with both sessions in which I am involved, Bayesian data privacy and The future of ISBA conferences, accepted), the call is open for contributed talks, with deadline 17 November. (If this helps in making a proposal, childcare will be available during the conference.)
Contributed talks will be 20 minutes long. Please note that the one-oral-presentation-per-speaker policy is in effect: Each participant shall give at most one oral presentation. All talks, discussions, and panel discussions, &tc count as an oral presentation, the only exceptions being discussants for Named Lectures, and presenters of short courses.

Next summer, from 19 July till 27 August, there will be a six week program at CIRM on the above theme, bringing together scientists from both the academic and industrial communities. The program includes a one-week summer school followed by 5 weeks of research sessions on projects proposed by academic and industrial partners.
Confirmed speakers of the summer school (Jul 19-23) are:
- Albert Cohen (Sorbonne University)
- Masoumeh Dashti (University of Sussex)
- Eric Moulines (Ecole Polytechnique)
- Anthony Nouy (Ecole Centrale de Nantes)
- Claudia Schillings (Mannheim University)
Junior participants may apply for fellowships to cover part or the whole stay. Registration and application to fellowships will be open soon.
end-to-end Bayesian learning [CIRM]

It takes place 22-29 October 2021 on this wonderful campus at the border with the beautiful Parc National des Calanques, in a wonderfully renovated CIRM building and involves friends and colleagues of mine as organisers and plenary speakers. (I am not involved!, but plan to organise a scalable MCMC workshop there the year after!) The conference is well-supported and the housing fees will be minimal since the centre is also subsidized by CNRS. The deadline for contributed talks and posters is 22 March, while it is 15 June for registration. Hopefully by this time the horizon will have cleared up enough to consider traveling and meeting again. Hopefully. (In which case I will miss this wonderful conference due to other meeting and teaching commitments in the Fall.)

A call to all potential participants to the incoming BayesComp 2020 conference at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, 7-10 January 2020, to submit proposals [to me] for contributed sessions on everything computational or training labs [to David Rossell] on a specific language or software. The deadline is April 1 and the sessions will be selected by the scientific committee, other proposals being offered the possibility to present the associated research during a poster session [which always is a lively component of the conference]. (Conversely, we reserve the possibility of a “last call” session made from particularly exciting posters on new topics.) Plenary speakers for this conference are
- David Blei (Columbia University)
- Paul Fearnhead (University of Lancaster)
- Emily Fox (University of Washington)
- Max Welling (University of Amsterdam)
and the first invited sessions are already posted on the webpage of the conference. We dearly hope to attract a wide area of research interests into a as diverse as possible program, so please accept this invitation!!!
