SQUIDS-Statistics Joint Seminar: Automatic Tuning for Gradient-based Bayesian Inference
13:00 - 14:00 11 February 2026
Speaker: Professor Christopher Nemeth (Lancaster University) Abstract: In Bayesian inference, the central computational task is to approximate a posterior distribution—often by designing dynamics whose stationary law is the posterior, or by directly minimising a variational objective such as a KL...

Logic Seminar - Martin Bays
15:00 - 16:00 11 February 2026
Speaker: Martin Bays (University of Oxford) Groups from non-expansion in higher dimension Call a complex polynomial f(x,y) _expanding_ if there is e>0 such that for all sufficiently large finite sets A and B of complex numbers with |B| >= |A|, we have |f(A,B)| > |A|^{1+e}. A result of Elekes and Rónyai...

Heilbronn Algebra Seminar - Eoghan McDowell
14:00 - 15:00 10 February 2026
Title: Zeros of characters of symmetric groups Abstract: Interest in zeros of characters stretches back to Burnside's classical result that every non-linear character has a zero, and persists to this day in open problems such as Moretó–Rizo's proposed generalisation of the McKay conjecture. Zeros...
