The goal is to provide a platform for exchange of results and ideas between the various communities who pursue categorical approaches to probability and statistics. The talks will be hosted on Zoom and accompanied by discussions in a chat forum. Please register with us by email at tfritz@pitp.ca in order to receive the relevant links. The final schedule of the talks is available at http://perimeterinstitute.ca/personal/tfritz/2019/cps_workshop/schedule.= html Our speakers come from a range of backgrounds, including category theory, computer science, statistics, as well as noncommutative and quantum probability: * Malte Gerhold * Bart Jacobs * H=C3=B4ng V=C3=A2n L=C3=AA * Peter McCullagh * Annabelle McIver * Prakash Panangaden * Evan Patterson * Arthur Parzygnat * Paolo Perrone * Eigil Fjeldgren Rischel * Alex Simpson * Robert W. Spekkens * Bas Spitters * David Spivak * Sam Staton As an introduction to the subject itself, we're happy to also provide the following video tutorials: * Paolo Perrone: What is a probability monad? * Sam Staton: Probabilistic programming: a categorical tutorial * Christine Tasson: Probabilistic programming and semantics Two of these are already available at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=3DPLaILTSnVfqtIebAXFOcee9MvAyBwhIM= yr and we plan to add the third one there soon. We look forward to seeing you at the workshop! Best regards, Tobias Fritz, Rory Lucyshyn-Wright, and Paolo Perrone [For admin and other information see: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/ ]
