Latest episode is out, my dear #Bayesians! A deep dive into #AmortizedInference, what it looks like in practice, and how to teach it to your AI agents. Tune if you wanna see how to do fast, amortized inference that scales -- live, demoed by Stefan 😉

Finite mixture models are useful when data comes from multiple latent processes. BayesFlow allows: • Approximating the joint posterior of model parameters and mixture indicators • Inferences for independent and dependent mixtures • Amortization for fast and accurate estimation 📄 Preprint 💻 Code

Amortized Bayesian Workflow (Extended Abstract)
Bayesian inference often faces a trade-off between computational speed and sampling accuracy. We propose an adaptive workflow that integrates rapid amortized inference with gold-standard MCMC techniqu...

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

Prior specification is one of the hardest tasks in Bayesian modeling. In our new paper, we (Florence Bockting, @stefanradev.bsky.social and me) develop a method for expert prior elicitation using generative neural networks and simulation-based learning. arxiv.org/abs/2411.15826

Expert-elicitation method for non-parametric joint priors using normalizing flows
We propose an expert-elicitation method for learning non-parametric joint prior distributions using normalizing flows. Normalizing flows are a class of generative models that enable exact, single-step...
