There will now be a second mirror workshop of ABC in Grenoble. Taking place at the Université de Montpellier, more precisely at the Alexander Grothendieck Montpellier Institute, Building 9, room 430 (4th floor), Triolet Campus. It is organised by my friend Jean-Michel Marin. Great to see a mirror at one of the major breeding places of ABC, where I personally heard of ABC for the first time and met several of the main A[B]Ctors..! The dates are 19-20 March, with talks transmitted from 9am to 5am [GMT+1]. Since the video connection can accommodate 1918 more mirrors, if anyone else is interested in organising another mirror, please contact me for technical details.

I am quite glad to announce that there will definitely be at least one mirror workshop of ABC in Grenoble. Taking place at Warwick University, in the Zeeman building (room MS0.05) and organised by my colleague Rito Dutta. The dates are 19-20 March, with talks transmitted from 9am to 5am [GMT+1]. Since the video connection can accommodate 19 more mirrors, if anyone is interested in organising an other mirror, please contact me for technical details.

Reminding readers that the next occurrence of the “ABC in…” workshops will very soon take place in Grenoble, France, on 19-20 March 2020. Confirmed speakers and sessions (with more to come) are
Misspecified models
- Guillaume Dehaene (EPFL, Switzerland) TBA
- Gael Martin (Monash University, Australia) Focused Bayesian Prediction
- Tommaso Rigon (Duke University, USA) TBA
Links with Machine Learning
- Flora Jay (Université d’Orsay, France) TBA
- Pierre-Alexandre Mattei (Inria Sophia Antipolis – Méditerranée, France) Partially Exchangeable Networks and Architectures for Learning Summary Statistics in Approximate Bayesian Computation
- Dennis Prangle (Newcastle University, UK) Scalable approximate inference for state space models with normalising flows
As in most earlier versions of the “ABC in…”workshops (ABC in Paris, London, Roma, &tc.), we are aiming at a workshop atmosphere and, thanks to local sponsors, the registration fees are null, but registration is compulsory. And now open!
I also remind ‘Og’s readers that Grenoble can be easily reached by fast trains from Paris, Roissy, Geneva and Lyon. (There are also flights to Grenoble airport from Warwick, as well as Bristol, Edinburgh, London, Manchester, Rotterdam, Stockholm, Warsaw, but this is less convenient than flying to Lyon Saint-Exupery airport and then catching a direct train at the airport.) To add to the appeal of the place, the workshop occurs during the skiing season, with three mountain ranges in the close vicinity. Making ABski a genuine possibility for the weekend after!

The next occurrence of the “ABC in…” workshops will take place in Grenoble, France, on 19-20 March 2020. Both local organising and international scientific committees have been constituted and the program should soon be constructed, along with calls to contributions launched at the same time. As in most earlier versions of the workshops (ABC in Paris, London, Roma, &tc.), we are aiming at a workshop atmosphere and, thanks to local sponsors, the registration fees if any will be low.

In case you are near the French Alps next week, STATLEARN 2019 will take place in Grenoble, the week after next, 04 and 05 April. The program is quite exciting, registration is free of charge!, and still open, plus the mountains are next door!
