Approximation Methods in Bayesian Analysis [#1]
Posted in Mountains, pictures, Running, Statistics, Travel, University life with tags Approximation Methods in Bayesian Analysis, Bayesian Analysis, binary tree, CIRM, conference, deep neural network, divide & conquer, Kingman's coalescent, Luminy campus, Mediterranean Sea, Parc National des Calanques, Paris, Université Aix Marseille on June 20, 2023 by xi'an
Interesting first day, if somewhat intense!, with Sylvia Richardson talking of divide & conquer strategies, which we had recently explored in our work on mixtures with Adrien and Judith. Then Jere Koskela (Warwick) on sufficient conditions for consistent inference on trees like Kingman’s coalescent. And in the afternoon Julia-Adela Palacios on tree estimation, with novel notions of tree distances and barycentre (soon to appear in Biometrika!). And Julyan Arbel on the notion and properties of priors within (deep) neural networks, following different asymptotics. On top of this, two fast sessions for people presenting their poster, to be attended tonight. And the usual early morning run to swim 25mn in one of the calanques… Luckily enough, Marseille is not too hot this week, feeling even nicer than Paris!
soon off to CIRM

Fusion at CIRM

Today is the first day of the FUSION workshop Rémi Bardenet and myself organised. Due to schedule clashes, I will alas not be there, since [no alas!] at the BNP conference in Chili. The program and collection of participants is quite exciting and I hope more fusion will result from this meeting. Enjoy! (And beware of boars, cold water, and cliffs!!!)
