It is even possible to use these interpolation methods when the n otion of dimensionality is not defined\, i.e. in the abstract framework of Lebesgue integration\, which has practical consequences in Bayesian data analysis.\n \n In this talk\, I will first give an overview of the methods o f approximation of integrals based on interpolations of distributions. Thi s introduction is available to undergraduate students. I will also present recent results that create a connection and compare two families of law i nterpolation\, i.e.\, on the one hand\, MCMC (parallel tempering\, simulat ed tempering\, etc.)\, and AIS/SMC (Annealed Importance Sampling) approach es.\n\n PLACE /LIEU \n Hybride - CRM\, Salle / Room 6214\, Pavillon André Ai senstadt\n\n 🔗 Lien ZOOM Link\n \n \n Please note that the presentation will b e in French\, but at least some of the overheads will be bilingual.\n \n \n 🏆 CITATION DU PRIX / PRIZE CITATION \n \n \n \n\n DTSTART:20241018T193000Z DTEND:20241018T203000Z SUMMARY:Alexandre Bouchard-Côté (UBC Vancouver) URL:/mathstat/channels/event/alexandre-bouchard-cote-u bc-vancouver-360429 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
