I'm very happy to see that @arstechnica.com is writing about the use of simulation-based inference to enhance analyses at the LHC, but I'm not very impressed with the coverage. It focuses primarily on one student, which makes for a good story, but it's not an accurate account.

An unexpected surprise. The 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics honors over 13,000 researchers whose labors have led to the precise description the Higgs mechanism, … breakthroughprize.org/News/91 @CERN

Gaussian Processes, not quite for dummies I recall always having this vague impression about Gaussian Processes (GPs) being a magical algorithm that is able to define probability distributions over sets of functions, but I had always procrast...

Been diving into Gaussian Processes and just found this article - easily the most intuitive intro I have come across so far

Thank you! It is very exciting indeed, and I would be happy to discuss it further. Feel free to reach out anytime - happy to chat more!

Happy to connect with @sandesarajay.bsky.social at CERN. We will be working on Simulation-Based Inference!

Thank you, and super excited for the next chapter with the Madison team!

Congratulations Dr Sandesara! Very excited to be working with you! @sandesarajay.bsky.social
