Abstract submissions close in just over a week for "SMC Down Under: Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI) & Australian Mathematical Society Workshop on Sequential Monte Carlo." Don't miss out! 📆Abstract Deadline: Friday, 5 May 📆Workshop: 10-13 July (Regos are open) 📌QUT, Brisbane 👇 research.qut.edu.au/qutcds/events/… #mathematics

Join us in Brisbane in July for SMC Down Under. We're proud to present keynote speakers: 🔹Dr Francesca Crucinio: ENSAE Paris 🔹Prof Sumeetpal Singh: UOW NIASRA 🔹Dr Saifuddin Syed: Oxford Statistics 📆10-13 July 📌QUT REGISTER: 👇research.qut.edu.au/qutcds/events/… Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI) Australian Mathematical Society

Calling all women and gender-diverse students/ECRs 📢 If you're interested in attending SMC Down Under, there are competitive funding awards to support you to travel and present your work! Please nominate to be considered when submitting your abstract (due Friday 5, May).

Sequential Monte Carlo is a super useful method for parameterising your models. Starting with a large number of possible parameter values, you can step-by-step move towards more likely values. Join us on Day 1 of the workshop for an introduction to SMC.

Deadline extended! We've extended the deadline to submit abstracts for talk/poster presentations for "SMC Down Under". 📆New abstracts deadline: Monday, 15 May 📆Conference: 10-13 July 📌QUT, Brisbane Conf website: research.qut.edu.au/qutcds/events/… Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI) Australian Mathematical Society #maths

Cursed scientific accuracy

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! Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI) Australian Mathematical Society

SMC Down Under! Thanks to all the speakers, helpers and fellow organisers. What a week! QUT Centre for Data Science Australian Mathematical Society Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI)

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. jonathansri.com/candidacy

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! research.qut.edu.au/qutcds/bayes-o…

Le séminaire "Mostly Monte Carlo" (un vendredi par mois à PariSanté Campus) a maintenant sa page web et sa liste de diffusion : bonstats.github.io/mostlymontecar…

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 PariSanté Campus

Sam Power is too modest to publicise his own work even when he's so generous with others'. So here it goes. arxiv.org/abs/2402.13678 studies the efficiency of a family of approximate slice samplers and relates it to the efficiency of the ideal (but not implementable) one.

Last preprint from my PhD thesis! Joint work with Kerrie Mengersen Antonietta Mira Elizaveta Semenova @[email protected] Joshua Bon QUT Centre for Data Science

First PhD publication is out! Really proud to share this work between ATSICHS Brisbane and QUT Centre for Data Science "Empowering communities through data literacy: a qualitative study exploring Indigenous Australian perceptions, engagement and understanding of data" openjournals.uwaterloo.ca/index.php/JoCI…

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.
