One World Approximate Bayesian Inference (ABI) Seminar
After 5 Seasons of the One World Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) SeminarLink opens in a new window, launched in April 2020 to gather members and disseminate results and innovation during those weeks and months under lockdown, in 2025 we launched a "new" seminar series, the One World Approximate Bayesian Inference (OWABI), to better reflect the broader interest and scope of this series, which goes beyond ABC. In particular, simulation-based inference and ML related techniques will have a particular role.
Feel free to contact any of the organisers if you want to suggest yourself or someone else for a talk.
How it works and mailing list
All webinars will be held on Zoom/MS Teams, with a link shared on the email sent via the mailing list. So if you are interested in the OWABI seminar and would like to hear from us monthly about the announced speaker, title and abstract and, most importantly, be able to join the talk, please register by sending an email to owabi_seminar-subscribe@newlistserv.warwick.ac.uk with subject "Subscribe".
A "One World ABI" playlist on the ISBA YouTube channel, with all past OWABC and current OWABI talks is available .
