About Bayes Comp
The biennial Bayes Comp meetings are organized by the Bayesian Computation Section of the International Society for Bayesian Analysis. Bayes Comp 2025 is the fourth conference in the series and is hosted by the Department of Statistics and Data Science at the National University of Singapore.
The Bayesian approach to learning from data has a very long history, but it has only flourished in modern applications with the use of modern computational tools. Bayes Comp 2025 gives a snapshot of the current state of the diverse and exciting field of Bayesian computation.

Satellite Workshops
Satellite Workshop 1
Bayesian Computation and Inference with Misspecified models
A common justification for the use of Bayesian inference is that Bayes’ theorem is the optimal way to update beliefs based on new observations, and that representing beliefs through a posterior distribution is desirable for uncertainty quantification. However, standard posterior distributions are only meaningful when the model or likelihood is well-specified, which is not the case in the presence of outliers, adversarial contaminations, or faulty measurement instruments. This realisation has led to an increased focus on generalisations of Bayesian inference which aim at obtaining ‘generalised posterior distributions’ providing some representation of uncertainty but also overcoming some the lack of robustness of standard posteriors. The aim of this workshop will be to give a broad overview of this topic, touching on both foundational questions and algorithmic advances, and inviting the Bayesian Computation community to take a more active role in solving some of the remaining open challenges in this area.

Satellite Workshop 2
Bayesian Methods for Distributional and Semiparametric Regression
This satellite workshop aims to bridge the gap between computational and theoretical advancements and modern applications in Bayesian methods for distributional and semiparametric regression by bringing together leading experts in the field. Participants will benefit from talks that cover key tasks, such as model formulation, variable selection, inference techniques and associated computational challenges and practical implications. By highlighting the latest developments, this workshop will provide an overview of current research advancements, fostering discussions that inspire collaboration and innovation in advanced Bayesian regression.
