I'm super excited to announce that ISBA @isba-bayesian.bsky.social has voted to start a new section on Bayesian Social Sciences! It will be a great way to further collaborations with many disciplines in the Social Sciences and Humanities. bss-isba.github.io

The next BA webinar is tomorrow!

The Scientific Committee welcomes proposals for Invited Sessions for the 2026 #ISBA World Meeting. Please submit proposals using this form: forms.gle/5G3xJWJaaE6Q... Proposals will be accepted until 11:59pm (anywhere on Earth) on 6 July 2025. Also see the conf. site: isba2026.github.io

If you have news, #jobs, etc. that you would like to share with the #Bayesian community, go to bayesian.org to Submit News or Submit Jobs. These submissions are reviewed periodically and posted on the ISBA website.

The latest issue of the ISBA bulletin is now available! This issue features: - A 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘦 from the ISBA President; - The 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘸𝘴 from the Bayesian community - The 𝘛𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘉𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘴 section, full of ideas for bringing Bayes into the classroom. isba-bulletin.github.io/ISBABulletin/

📺 No fewer than 10 new videos are now available on the ISBA YouTube channel: recordings from two workshops, plus plenary and keynote sessions from BNP 14. Check them out and enjoy! www.youtube.com/@isba-intern... bnp14.org

This looks like a great workshop: ➡️ An Introduction to Bayesian Methods for the Social Sciences, Lugano (Switzerland), 18-22 August 2025 Bayesian regression, network models, Bayesian clustering… www.usi.ch/en/education...

Always flabbergasted by the beauty of conferences social dinner places. #Marseillepremierevilledefrance

The first talk of the second day was also Bayesian! @julyanarbel.bsky.social gave a nice overview of Bayesian deep learning.

I gave a high level talk on Bayesian deep learning at the French "Journées de la Stat" conference organised in wonderful and colorful Marseille. Here are my slides: tinyurl.com/mry6d3zd

Congrats to Jan Greve (Vienna) for successfully defending his PhD, supervised by Sylvia Frühwirth-Schnatter & Bettina Grün. I served as a reviewer. His thesis features 3 excellent papers on BNP priors for data partitions, with an application to statistical disclosure control on text (LLM) data.

The Prize Committee of ISBA is pleased to announce the 2025 DeGroot Prize, Mitchell Prize, and Savage Award. The deadline to submit nominations for these awards is May 31, 2025. More info about the awards and nominations process can be found on the ISBA website 👇 bayesian.org/resources/ne...

🚀 Exciting news! We're proposing a new *Bayesian Deep Learning* section within @isba-bayesian.bsky.social . If you support this initiative, add your name to the petition and help make it happen! 🔗 Petition: tinyurl.com/527vaamz Sinead Williamson, Theo Papamarkou @vincefort.bsky.social Sara Wade 1/2

The First Triangle Symposium on Statistics and Data Science (TSSDS) will be held on May 12-13, 2025, at North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC. It will promote the works of local faculty, students, and researchers and bring in top researchers from other parts of the country and the world. 1/2

Reminder: AISTATS journal-to-conference track.

You still have a chance to submit your work to all tracks for AABI. New deadline is February 14 for both Workshop and Proceedings track! #AABI2025 #ML #ICLR2025 #Stats #Bayes

(1-dimensional) Weisfeiler-Leman is a heuristic for the graph isomorphism problem. It is a color refinement algorithm akin to a basic message passing scheme. https://iti.zcu.cz/wl2018/pdf/wl_paper_translation.pdf

Big news: you can now submit your papers to the first ever international conference on probabilistic numerics (1-3 September, Southern France)! Don’t miss the chance to get in on the ground floor of this exciting new field! probnum25.github.io/submissions

Postdoctoral fellowships and research engineer positions available for an Oxford+Singapore project on uncertainty quantification in LLMs! docs.google.com/document/d/1... Oxford deadline is Feb 26. Pls apply if interested, forward to your contacts, contact me if you have questions 🙏🙏

🦆 are not Bayesian. Great opening of the AI, Science & Society Conference by Michael Jordan from Inria at Ecole polytechnique.

Submit your work to the 7th Symposium on Advances in Approximate Bayesian Inference! #AABI This year, #AABI will be co-located with #ICLR2025! Workshop Track: February 7, AoE Proceedings Track: February 7, AoE Fast Track: February 18 / March 14, AoE approximateinference.org/call/

Jeremias Knoblauch and other colleagues and friends in UCL launched a "Post-Bayes seminar series". Their will be many blocks of talks, including a series on PAC-Bayes (probably starting in September 2025). The first talk (by Jeremias) is next week. Please have a look: postbayes.github.io/seminar/

Review for JMLR in 2025: check ✅

I'm handling a paper for a statistical computing journal focused on the tidyverse. If you're an #rstats expert and interested in reviewing, please DM me for details. 🙏

AABI is back! This year, for the first time in Asia (co-located with ICLR in Singapore). Send us all your new probabilistic ML papers, the deadline is just a few days after the ICML one!

The #Bayesian nonparametrics section of ISBA has announced their next webinar, "Random partitions beyond exchageability," presented by Beatrice Franzolini (Bocconi University). Details about upcoming webinars, including the Zoom links, can be found at bnp-isba.github.io/webinars.html

The Isaac Newton Institute at Cambridge is hosting a workshop on Accelerating Statistical Inference and Experimental Design with Machine Learning June 23 - 27. It includes tutorials on #Bayesian inference, DoE, and diffusion models. More details at the website: www.newton.ac.uk/event/rclw03/
