Update of our Bayesian Score Calibration paper ahead of @bayescomp
- Multivariate corrections
- Helpful diagnostics
- New examples: correcting VI and approximate inference for SDEs
- New schematic

[Joshua Bon @bonstats]

Really stoked to have this paper out in the wild!

We present a straight forward approach to simulation-based inference that can utilise approximate models.

Thanks to the great team @DavidJWarne David Nott @chris_drovandi that worked on this!

@AdrienCorenflos Congrats mate!

I'll shortly be advertising a PhD scholarship for a project that uses comp modelling, machine learning, and big data to examine the impact of working hours on well-being. Official advert to come soon, but feel free to get in touch now if you're interested.

Last preprint from my PhD thesis! Joint work with @KerrieMengersen @MiraAntonietta @liza_p_semenova @bonstats @QUTDataScience

[Adrien Corenflos @AdrienCorenflos]

@sp_monte_carlo is too modest to publicise his own work even when he's so generous with others'.

So here it goes. https://t.co/RncvsEOrRt studies the efficiency of a family of approximate slice samplers and relates it to the efficiency of the ideal (but not implementable) one.

Come listen to PhD candidate Antoine Luciano present our work on Insufficient Gibbs Sampling.
He'll discuss how we can avoid ABC when we observe robust statistics (median, IQR, MAD, quantiles...).

The seminar is online, but Parisians can attend in person @PariSanteCampus

@HassanConor @aistats_conf Gotta include the screenshot directly then! 😅

[Joshua Bon @bonstats]

@HassanConor @aistats_conf Maybe: provide a link (GitHub?) to a screenshot of the arXiv page for the paper with private info scrubbed. Provide the arXiv url to the chair (to check) and state to the reviewer that you have done so.

@DavidJWarne @JoshuaABull They’re using the Euler–Maruyama method

Le séminaire "Mostly Monte Carlo" (un vendredi par mois à @PariSanteCampus) a maintenant sa page web et sa liste de diffusion : https://t.co/OgonTO1RC8

[QUT Centre for Data Science @QUTDataScience]

Abstract submissions close today (Tues 31 Oct) for Bayes on the Beach. We'd love to hear from you and have you join us for this conference on the sunny ☀Gold Coast in February!

I'm running for mayor of Brisbane! I think a radical, creative campaign can help fundamentally transform unjust systems. Brissie is the tail that wags the political dog of Australian politics, and the 2024 council election is gonna be very interesting.

[QUT Centre for Data Science @QUTDataScience]

We're proud to be hosting and co-sponsoring two events at @QUT this week -#AMSIWinterSchool2023 and #SMCdownunder. Today, they got together for some workshops - and a nice combined group shot!

@DavidJWarne That could be it!
