Finite mixture models are useful when data comes from multiple latent processes. BayesFlow allows: β€’ Approximating the joint posterior of model parameters and mixture indicators β€’ Inferences for independent and dependent mixtures β€’ Amortization for fast and accurate estimation πŸ“„ Preprint πŸ’» Code

BayesFlow is a library for amortized Bayesian inference with neural networks. β‹… Multi-backend via Keras 3: Use PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX. β‹… Modern nets: Flow matching, diffusion, consistency models, normalizing flows, transformers β‹… Built-in diagnostics and plotting πŸ”— github.com/bayesflow-or...

A study with 5M+ data points explores the link between cognitive parameters and socioeconomic outcomes: The stability of processing speed was the strongest predictor. BayesFlow facilitated efficient inference for complex decision-making models, scaling Bayesian workflows to big data. πŸ”—Paper

Join us this Thursday for a talk on efficient mixture and multilevel models with neural networks by @paulbuerkner.com at the new @approxbayesseminar.bsky.social!

1️⃣ An agent-based model simulates a dynamic population of professional speed climbers. 2️⃣ BayesFlow handles amortized parameter estimation in the SBI setting. πŸ“£ Shoutout to @masonyoungblood.bsky.social & @sampassmore.bsky.social πŸ“„ Preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps... πŸ’» Code: github.com/masonyoungbl...

Neural superstatistics are a framework for probabilistic models with time-varying parameters: β‹… Joint estimation of stationary and time-varying parameters β‹… Amortized parameter inference and model comparison β‹… Multi-horizon predictions and leave-future-out CV πŸ“„ Paper 1 πŸ“„ Paper 2 πŸ’» BayesFlow Code

Any single analysis hides an iceberg of uncertainty. Sensitivity-aware amortized inference explores the iceberg: β‹… Test alternative priors, likelihoods, and data perturbations β‹… Deep ensembles flag misspecification issues β‹… No model refits required during inference πŸ”— openreview.net/forum?id=Kxt...

To celebrate the new beginnings on Bluesky, let's reminisce about one of our highlights from the old days: The unexpected shout-out by @fchollet.bsky.social that made everyone go crazy on the BayesFlow Slack server and led to a 15% increase in GitHub stars.
