This workshop has been rescheduled to 2 - 6 August 2021
This workshop will bring together the many groups working on non-reversible Markov chain/process Monte Carlo across the fields of physics, applied probability and statistics. This exciting research area is currently thriving due to the significant gains in computational efficiency for non-reversible Monte Carlo methods. A mixture of research talks, tutorials, and discussions will accelerate cross-discipline communication, foster the development of the research community, and explore future research priorities and approaches.
