Hello bluesky 🦋 - overdue intro post. I'm a statistician at Bristol University doing approx Bayes methods like SBI and variational influence for things like population genetics 🧬 and stochastic kinetic models. Happy to chat about scaling these methods to harder models/bigger data/real applications.

Invitation to review a revised paper I assumed wasn't coming back just days after I recycled my printout and written notes on the previous version. Maybe I should never tidy my office.

Bayesians! Are you a member of ISBA? Are you into applications in the Social Sciences? We are starting a new ISBA section on Bayesian Social Sciences. This requires a petition, signed by at least 30 ISBA members. You can add your name here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Thrilled to contribute to this work led by David Frazier providing theory for NPE/NLE in simulation-based inference. These methods are known to match the accuracy of ABC and BSL with fewer simulations, this paper rigorously shows why this can be achieved. arxiv.org/abs/2411.12068

I created a starter pack for simulation-based inference (aka. likelihood-free inference). Let me know if you’d like me to add you. go.bsky.app/GVnJRoK

Our Python library BayesFlow implements methods for amortized Bayesian inference. You first train a neural network on simulated data. Then you obtain posterior inference on any real data almost instantly. Check out the dev branch for our new backend and user interface: github.com/bayesflow-or...

Can you set up a muted words feed on bluesky? It'd be nice to have one feed not dominated by a certain upcoming election.

I made a Starter Pack for Statistics departments, groups, organisations and associations. There are only a few on there at the moment - please let me know of others I can add. go.bsky.app/q6MfWL

yesterday I refereed a paper, read it from start to finish as usual, and sent the review to a journal. This morning I read on LinkedIn of the NotebookLM project by Google, an AI "research assistant". You can upload a paper and "interrogate" it. (1/4) https://notebooklm.google.com
