The Summer School for Women in Math and Stat is happening again from 29th May this year at @ictstifr!

It's a wonderful opportunity for first year women students to partake in hands-on training!

Thanks @bayescomp for a wonderful week! Great talks and amazing people. Hope to see you all soon!

[Federica Milinanni @FedeMilinanni]

Just presented my research work on Large Deviations for Metropolis Hastings (joint work with @PierreNyq, soon on arXiv) at @bayescomp. Thanks to the organisers for such a nice conference!

[Umberto Picchini @uPicchini]

Slides from my talk at #BayesComp2023 on "Guided sequential ABC schemes for simulation-based inference" are at https://t.co/DNzNdvJuiL. Anyone interested in plugging some of these methods in pyABC or ABCpy, please contact me or co-author @tamborrino_m .

[Massimiliano Tamborrino @tamborrino_m]

What a great @bayescomp it was! Great talks and amazing location! I loved meeting people in 3d after years of 2d online meetings! Thanks @LassiRoininen and @MooresMt for a great #BayesComp

[Josefina @jcomndz]

And so #BayesComp2023 has come to a close! Many thanks to the organizers for doing such a fantastic job. I greatly enjoyed the talks, the posters and discussions with fellow Bayesians. Looking forward to the next one!

PSA for @bayescomp folks leaving today:

Kittilä airport is packed, be there >2h in advance. The main queue is for baggage drop-off. There are machines for self check-in for your bags on the right hand side of the hall. Makes things much faster.

Safe journey! 👋

The sun is setting over Levi and @bayescomp has ended.

Thanks to all attendees for the great conversations and talks. And a special thank you to the organizers for making this awesome conference possible!

A little cross country skiing during lunch break @bayescomp ❄️⛷️

Nice sunny day yesterday @bayescomp. Great to participate to a panel discussion with experts of Bayesian computing and inference. Finally northern lights also in the sky in the evening and not just in the background in the auditorium!

[Richard Everitt @bayesian_stats]

Great last night at @bayescomp.

[Lassi Roininen @LassiRoininen]

Bayes Comp Day 2 great talks and panel discussions, and very importantly beautiful winter weather!
