Unfortunately, yesterday the registration website of the 2022 World Meeting #ISBA2022 experienced some technical issues. The early-bird registration deadline has been postponed to April 15. Conference website: isbawebmaster.github.io/ISBA2022/

ISBA announces a call for pre-proposals for the ISBA World Meetings in 2026 and 2028. We encourage any interested members to contribute to the main scientific gathering of our society by submitting a pre-proposal to the ISBA Program Council. Deadline: October 31, 2022.

Multiple interpretations of ambiguous percept must be associated with multiple values of an explanatory latent variable. By *latent*, I mean that they are not outputs but internal inputs. What are the mechanisms in the brain for exploring the set of plausible values?

I have an open postdoc position in Mathematical Statistics at Bocconi University (Milano). Deadline: 4th of December, 2022. Application link: jobmarket.unibocconi.eu/?type=a&urlBac…

The skewed Bernstein-von Mises theorem is online arxiv.org/abs/2301.03038. With Francesco Pozza and Botond Szabo we derive a new limiting law given by tractable generalized skew-normals that remarkably improves the convergence rate (and practical accuracy) of the classical BvM result!

🚨1 PhD position in high-dimensional #causal inference with @stephanievdpas Amsterdam UMC as part of her European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant🚨 We will try to combine reliable causal discovery and effect estimation in high-dimensional settings.

🤩 Congratulations to my former PhD student Francesco Pozza who received the Laplace award 🏆 at #JSM2024, for the article "skewed Bernstein-von Mises theorem and skew-modal approximations" (arxiv.org/abs/2301.03038) (recently accepted for publication in the Annals of Statistics ‼️)

Paper: Skewed Bernstein-Von Mises Theorem and Skew-Modal Approximations Accepted in Annals of Statistics Authors: Daniele Durante Francesco Pozza Botond Szabo

😎 For any, already-derived, symmetric approximation of a generic posterior distribution, we provide, at no additional optimization costs, a similarly-tractable, yet provably more accurate, skew-symmetric approximation! (arxiv.org/abs/2409.14167) (with Francesco Pozza and Botond Szabo)
