@YoungStatS2
Blog and webinar by Young Statisticians Europe (YSE) supported by @StatFen, @BernoulliSoc and @InstMathStat to promote research in #Statistics and #Mathematics.









Tomorrow, Feb 17, 2026: Aki Nishimura (Johns Hopkins) will talk about new links between the Zigzag sampler and Hamiltonian Monte Carlo, with Hamiltonian counterparts to PDMP samplers (incl. BPS). Zoom link on the event page. All welcome! #MCMC #HMC #PDMP #Bayesian





Join our seminar on Tue, Feb 10, 2026: Aaron Smith (Univ. of Ottawa) : “Some Speedups From Fast Convergence of Important Test Functions”. Learn how function-specific mixing can yield big gains for MCMC (graphical models + random rotations). #MCMC #MarkovChains



Next seminar (Tue, Jan 27): Manon Michel (CNRS, Univ. Clermont-Auvergne) “Harnessing Newtonian dynamics in generative models”. How laws of motion can make normalizing flows faster, cheaper, and more stable in high dimensions. #GenerativeModels #NormalizingFlows #MachineLearning
