Generative models and uncertainty quantification

Copenhagen, September 20-21, 2023

Generative models and uncertainty quantification lie at the heart of Bayesian modelling and inference. At this small meeting, we discuss recent developments within the field. The workshop is deliberately kept small to ensure the discussions remain honest, lively and interesting. Attendance is, thus, primarily by invitation, but one can apply to join (see below).
