Some of the questions we’ll unpack:
🔍 Why is it so hard to model uncertainty reliably?
⚠️ How do overconfident models break things in production?
🧠 What tools and frameworks help today?
🔄 What do we need to rethink if we want robust ML over the next decade?
Joining me on stage: the brilliant Mélodie Monod, Yingzhen Li and François-Xavier Briol -- researchers doing cutting-edge work on these questions, across Bayesian methods, statistical learning, and real-world ML deployment.
A huge thank you to Oliver Ratmann for setting this up!

Takeaways:
Bayesian statistics offers a robust framework for econometric modeling.State space models provide a comprehensive way to understand time series data.Gaussian random walks serve as a foundational model in time series analysis.Innovations represent external shocks that can significantly impact forecasts.Understanding the assumptions behind models is key to effective forecasting.Complex models are not always better; simplicity can be powerful.Forecasting requires careful consideration of potential disruptions. Understanding observed and hidden states is crucial in modeling.Latent abilities can be modeled as Gaussian random walks.State space models can be highly flexible and diverse.Composability allows for the integration of different model components.Trends in time series should reflect real-world dynamics.Seasonality can be captured through Fourier bases.AR components help model residuals in time series data.Exogenous regression components can enhance state space models.Causal analysis in time series often involves interventions and counterfactuals.Time-varying regression allows for dynamic relationships between variables.Kalman filters were originally developed for tracking rockets in space.The Kalman filter iteratively updates beliefs based on new data.Missing data can be treated as hidden states in the Kalman filter framework.The Kalman filter is a practical application of Bayes' theorem in a sequential context.Understanding the dynamics of systems is crucial for effective modeling.The state space module in PyMC simplifies complex time series modeling tasks.Chapters:
