We are thrilled to announce our next Meetup on November 25th at **E.ON**.
**Format:**

* 2 talks (each ca. 40 min incl. discussion)
* Time for networking + food + drinks before, in between, and after the presentations
* Talks are held in English
* We will be taking photos and/or film footage at the event. These will be used to share news about our meetups and to publicize upcoming events.

**The lineup:**
**First talk:**
**Emanuel Sommer - Sampling: The future of Bayesian Deep Learning?**

**Abstract:**
Sampling in Bayesian neural networks has long carried a reputation for being elegant yet impractical for large-scale or complex models. But times have changed. Recent progress in hybrid and scalable samplers, as well as software, is reshaping what’s possible for Bayesian neural networks. This talk highlights how these methods achieve both reliable uncertainty estimates and competitive predictive performance, challenging long-held beliefs about the limits of sampling.

**Bio:**
Emanuel Sommer is a Doctoral researcher in Statistics and Machine Learning at the [Munich Uncertainty Quantification AI Lab [MUNIQ.AI](http://muniq.ai/) ([https://www.muniq.ai/](https://www.muniq.ai/)) at LMU Munich and a member of the Munich Center for Machine Learning (MCML) ([https://mcml.ai/](https://mcml.ai/)). His research focuses on sampling-based inference for Bayesian Neural Networks, aiming to bridge the gap between theoretical rigor and practical applicability in probabilistic deep learning. Before his PhD, Emanuel earned his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Mathematics from TUM and gained industry experience as a Data Scientist.

**Second talk:** tba soon
