Hi everyone,

A friend and I have been organising a seminar series on Bayesian statistics at Karolinska Institutet over the past few months. Next week, there’ll be a talk by @sunxd3 titled Survival Modeling with Turing.jl: A Case Study!

Xianda will present a series of increasingly complex survival models written using Turing.jl and the surrounding package ecosystem. He’ll also touch on differences between Turing.jl and other probablistic programming frameworks like Stan and JuliaBUGS.jl.

Learn Bayes – Xianda Sun – Survival Modeling with Turing.jl: A Case Study
Time: May 13, 2025 15:00 Amsterdam, Berlin, Rome, Stockholm, Vienna

Cool. Will it be recorded for those west coast of north america dwellers who won’t be awake at that time?

Yes, we’re planning to record the talk. :slight_smile:

I wonder if this talk would be eligible for Julia Online.

As an alternative, we are starting a new trial program called Julia Online for community members to propose videos for upload to the Julia YouTube Channel. If your proposal is accepted, you’ll be asked to prepare your proposal into a full video for upload! This call for proposals will be evergreen and will stay open for as long as we run this program, so you are welcome to propose a video at any time.

Looking forward to the recording of the talk

Will sadly not be able to join live, but looking forward to the recording too!

Has the recording been posted yet?

Not yet, we’ve had our hands full with the event week that @sunxd3’s and @penelopeysm’s talks on Turing.jl were part of.

I’ll post a link here as soon as we’ve uploaded the recording. :slight_smile:

Sorry to be a bit annoying about this, but any chance to check out the recording soon? :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Haha, no worries. Glad you’re interested. The easiest is probably to track progress here KI Method Week Talk Prep by sunxd3 · Pull Request #21 · TuringLang/Turing-Workshop · GitHub

Sorry that the video hasn’t been uploaded yet.

Any updates? I also saw there was another talk in this series The Design of Turing.jl | Learn Bayes which also has a recording, but has not been posted yet.

I’m interested too! :smiley: Infact just planning survival-ish analysis for my next article using Turing.

Sorry for not having uploaded the videos yet.

I have now submitted a proposal to the Julia Online program linked by @xiaoxi above. Fingers crossed that this is successful; the submission form specifies that the proposal should be in a planning stage and not a finished video (we unfortunately have the latter, of course).

I will also be submitting a proposal for the second talk “The Design of Turing.jl” soon.

@slwu89 Hello, I’m the talk author — we had originally planned to upload the recording, but I kind of had second thoughts about that for various reasons. Part of it is personal and part of it is that some of this is going to be outdated in like a month’s time. Sorry it’s taken so long! It’s mostly my fault for dilly-dallying.

To make up for it, I’ve spent today writing up pretty much exactly the same contents as what I spoke about on my own website. As a bonus, it includes proper answers to some questions which I dodged during the actual thing :sweat_smile:. And I also retain the ability to update it if things change on the Turing side.

Thanks for taking the time to write the blog post, in lieu of the talk, it will be good for the community to be able to benefit from your knowledge.
