BAYESCOMP2012

The day started off a bit wet...

trundling through the beautiful landscapes of urban Japan...

Where have all the wimmin gone?

We were reminded that when particle filtering, good particles are duplicated, but I still don't know why we needed so many power points at the banquet.

For the final speech, an old man told us about how he became a Bayesian on the floor of a men's toilet. Really. 

Away from the mathematicians we seem to be one the set of Bladerunner.

Mathematicians are pretty funny. Day 2 of the meeting is tomorrow, but there will be no lunch, because mathos don't worry about things like that, so there are no commercial establishments in the vicinity of their institute. Oh please bring back the social scientists!
