Third, in collaboration with @kyrakadhim.bsky.social, @philipp.hertie.ai, and others, we built a task- and data-constrained biophysical network of the outer plexiform layer of the mouse retina. To optimize this model, we built it on top of our Jaxley toolbox for differentiable simulation. 6/11

On our blog: For decades, brain simulations have either been largely simplified, or they could not perform cognitive tasks. #JAXLEY, a new AI tool, opens possibilities to build brain simulations that overcome both limitations: www.machinelearningforscience.de/en/jaxley-ai... #AIforScience

Simulation-based inference (SBI) has transformed parameter inference across a wide range of domains. To help practitioners get started and make the most of these methods, we joined forces with researchers from many institutions and wrote a practical guide to SBI. 📄 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2508.12939

A central challenge in many areas of science and engineering is to identify model parameters that are consistent with prior knowledge and empirical data. Bayesian inference offers a principled framewo...

TBH, I don't have much to post from work, so to fill the void I'll just share photos of cats I meet in Tübingen from time to time.
