The 10th Conference on Bayesian Nonparametrics is going to be held during June 22-26, in Raleigh, NC. Providing travel support to junior researchers who do not have access to other sources of funding to attend the conference is key to maintaining the current leadership of American institutions in this field. The conference will also provide American researchers opportunity to exchange ideas with leading researchers from elsewhere in the world such as Europe, Asia and Latin America. Many of the invited speakers including a plenary speaker are women. More women and minorities will be highly encouraged to take part in the conference by providing them local support obtained through funding from the National Science Foundation.Bayesian nonparametrics has evolved as one of the fastest growing areas of research in statistics. Its application areas include genetics, finance, survival analysis, sociology, networks and machine learning. The primary objective of the conference is to bring together experts and young researchers, theoreticians and practitioners, who use Bayesian nonparametric techniques. The conference has a well-structured balanced program covering various areas of the subject. The scientific committee of the conference consists of renowned international experts on Bayesian nonparametrics and related topics. The meeting will include three overview plenary talks, twenty four invited talks, several contributed talks and two large contributed poster sessions. The poster session and some slots for contributed talks are especially reserved for young researchers. In addition, the conference will provide opportunities for young researchers to disseminate widely the results of their work by facilitating the publication of peer-reviewed papers and a proposed special issue of a leading statistics journal. Funding from the National Science Foundation will support participation of students, post-doctoral scholars and junior faculty members working in U.S. institutions to participate in the conference.

第十届贝叶斯非参数化会议将于6月22日至26日在北卡罗来纳州罗利举行。为无法获得其他资金来源参加会议的初级研究人员提供旅行支持是保持美国机构在该领域目前领导地位的关键。会议还将为美国研究人员提供与来自欧洲、亚洲和拉丁美洲等世界其他地区的领先研究人员交流思想的机会。包括一名全体会议发言人在内的许多受邀发言人都是妇女。更多的妇女和少数民族将被高度鼓励参加会议，通过提供他们通过国家科学基金会的资金获得的本地支持。贝叶斯非参数化已经发展成为统计学研究中增长最快的领域之一。其应用领域包括遗传学、金融、生存分析、社会学、网络和机器学习。会议的主要目标是汇集专家和年轻的研究人员，理论家和实践者，谁使用贝叶斯非参数技术。会议有一个结构良好的平衡计划，涵盖了该主题的各个领域。会议的科学委员会由贝叶斯非参数学和相关主题的知名国际专家组成。会议将包括三个概述全体会议，二十四个邀请会谈，几个贡献会谈和两个大型贡献海报会议。海报会议和一些贡献的演讲特别为年轻的研究人员保留。此外，会议将为青年研究人员提供机会，通过促进发表同行审查的论文和一份主要统计期刊的拟议特刊，广泛传播他们的工作成果。 来自美国国家科学基金会的资金将支持在美国机构工作的学生、博士后学者和初级教师参加会议。
