Reply To: Conference on inference methods for mathematical biology

Dear all,

We would like to invite online attendees to the above conference taking place on the 23rd / 24th May 2022. Online tickets cost £20 for two days and can be purchased here: https://fixr.co/event/inference-for-expensive-systems-in-mathematical-bi-tickets-517620015

– History Matching – an alternative way of inference for biological systems, Peter Challenor, University of Exeter
– Monte Carlo methods based on repulsive point processes for generic expensive models, Rémi Bardenet, Ecole Centrale de Lille
– Improved Bayesian inference for ODEs using adjoint methods for gradient-based sampling and adaptive step size selection, Richard Creswell, University of Oxford
