Nonparametric Bayesian Inference - Computational Issues
Topical Workshop
This program bring together researchers working in Bayesian nonparametric inference (BNP), including computation, foundations, methodology and application of BNP methods, with the goal of identifying newly emerging computational strategies and inference approaches. The program and invited talks are planned to balance theoretical expertise, interest and prowess in computational methods, and exposure to selected substantial application areas. The intended nature of the program as identifying synergies of different approaches and potentially new research directions naturally leads to favoring breath over depth, with more emphasis on covering diverse areas rather than on in-depth discussions of a single specific theme.
