About Bayes Comp
The biennial Bayes Comp meetings are organised 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
https://postbayes.github.io/BayesMisspecificationSatellite/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
https://kleinlab-statml.github.io/subpages_research/events/BayesComp2025.htmlThis 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.

Presentation Instructions
Congratulations! Your abstract has been accepted!
Now it’s time to prepare your slides (Oral Session) or posters (Poster Session).
Read the instructions below to help you get ready!
(A) Oral Presentation
- The provisional session time slot is available at https://bayescomp2025.sg/#programme
- The finalised schedule will be announced closer to conference date.
- Please bring a copy of your presentation file on a USB memory stick to the venue in case it is lost or corrupted.
Session Chairs
Please arrive at the session you are chairing approximately 10 minutes prior to the start to make sure all the sessions presentations can be uploaded to the rooms IT facilities. Speakers will have the option to upload their slides - in pdf version - directly to the room's laptop (running Windows OS) or connect via their own device. As a default option, uploading all slides directly to the room's laptop would be safest, however, we understand that some speakers may want to use their own devices and are of course happy for you and your speakers to decide on how best to proceed.
Session times differ slightly across invited and contributed sessions.
- For invited sessions without a discussant, please keep each speaker to around 25 minutes so as to allow for audience Q&A at the end of the talk.
- For invited sessions with a discussant (taking place June 19 from 3.30-5.30), please keep each speaker to around 25 minutes to allow for a maximum 5 minute Q&A and to ensure the discussant has enough time to discuss the sessions contributions.
- For the "Parallel Contributed Paper Sessions (Day 1, 15.30-17.30)" session, please keep each speaker to around 15-18 minutes to allow for a 2-5 minute audience Q&A.
- For the contributed session on "Computationally Efficient Bayesian Inference (Day 3, 10.20- 11.50)", please ensure each presentation in the session is between around 25 minutes, to allow for a 5 minute audience Q&A.
The location and timing of your session will be available on the main conference website prior to the start of the conference. Thank you again for agreeing to chair a session at this year's conference.
Speakers in invited and contributed session
Please arrive at your session approximately 10 minutes prior to the start to ensure your presentations can be directly uploaded to the rooms presentation facilities. Speakers have the option to upload their slides - in pdf version - to the room's laptop (running Windows OS) or connect via their own device. When using the latter option, please ensure you bring an adapter capable of interfacing with an HDMI cable, which will be provided as part of each room's presentation facilities.
The location and timing of your session will be available on the main conference website prior to the start of the conference. Presentation lengths differ slightly depending on whether you are speaking in an invited or contributed session. The timing for each relevant permutation is as follows.
- If you are a speaker or discussant in an invited session, please ensure your presentation is around 25 minutes to allow for audience Q&A.
- If you are speaking in the "Parallel Contributed Paper Session (Day 1, 15.30- 17.30)", each speaker will have between 15-18 minutes to present their work, with a 2-5 minute Q&A to follow directly after each talk.
- If you are speaking in the contributed session on "Computationally Efficient Bayesian Inference (Day 3, 10.20- 11.50)", please ensure your presentation is around 25 minutes to allow for a five minute audience Q&A.
Thank you for participating in this year's conference.
