The UK Royal Statistical Society (RSS) awarded Guy Medals in Silver and Bronze this year. The 2023 Guy Medal in Silver was awarded to Mark Girolami for his contributions to computational statistics and machine learning — in particular, his work on differential geometric approaches to stochastic simulation for statistical inference, published in the paper “Riemann manifold Langevin and Hamiltonian Monte Carlo methods” (with co-author Ben Calderhead), which was read to the Society in 2011. The Guy Medal in Bronze was awarded to Tengyao Wang for his contributions to high-dimensional statistics, including changepoint estimation, dimension reduction and missing data.
