Researchers and students are welcome to participate in the third edition of Bayes@Lund! The purpose of this conference is to bring together researchers working with or interested in Bayesian methods. Bayes@Lund aims at being accessible to researchers with little experience of Bayesian methods while still being relevant to experienced practitioners. The focus is on how Bayesian methods are used in research, what advantages Bayesian methods have over classical alternatives, and how the use and teaching of Bayesian methods can be encouraged.

The conference is free to attend but we ask you to register in advance here: http://www.lucs.lu.se/bayes-at-lund-2016/

Keynote speaker: Eric-Jan Wagenmakers

This year we are happy to announce that the keynote speaker is Eric-Jan Wagenmakers, professor in the Psychological Methods unit at the University of Amsterdam. His keynote presentation is titled Bayesian Benefits for the Pragmatic Researcher touching upon the concrete ways in which Bayesian inference can improve the scientific process.

Important Dates

  • Final date for presentations submission: 20th of December
  • Notifications to presenters: 24th of December
  • Final date for registration: 29th of January
  • Tutorial seminar on Bayesian inference with E.J. Wagenmakers: 4th of February
  • The conference: 5th of February

Call for Presentations

To contribute a presentation for Bayes@Lund please send in the title of your talk with an abstract (not more than 100 words) to rasmus.baath@lucs.lu.se. Final date for presentations submission is the 20th of December. Any topic related to Bayesian methods is relevant including, but not restricted to:

  • Case studies. Have you used Bayesian methods in your research? Describe what you did, and how it worked out.
  • Tutorial style talks. Want to share your favourite tool or modeling technique? This does not have to be novel research, just a useful tool for research!
  • Method development. Are you developing novel Bayesian methods that you want to share?
  • Teaching Bayes. Do you have experiences teaching Bayesian methods. What was the challenges, and do you have any useful tips?

Each accepted speaker is given 20 minutes and, as the audience will be highly heterogeneous, the talk is expected to be accessible and engaging for a multidisciplinary audience.

Pre-conference tutorial on Bayesian inference

The day before the conference there will be a tutorial seminar on Bayesian inference by Eric-Jan Wagenmakers, a great opportunity to learn or brush up the basics of Bayes! More information here: www.lucs.lu.se/bayes-at-lund-2016/#pre-conference-tutorial-on-bayesian-inference
