This is a great opportunity to work at the intersection of ML and Biogeoscience! Based within the outstanding research community of Tübingen.
Reach out if you are interested!

On the way to #EurIPS in Copenhagen.
If you want to talk about SBI, ML for science or just have a chat you can find me at our poster. Or just send me a DM!

Simulation-Based Inference: A Practical Guide 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...

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.

From hackathon to release: sbi v0.25 is here! 🎉

What happens when dozens of SBI researchers and practitioners collaborate for a week? New inference methods, new documentation, lots of new embedding networks, a bridge to pyro and a bridge between flow matching and score-based methods 🤯

We spent a year writing this review of low-dim embeddings and arguing about things like epistemic roles and best practices :-) 20+ authors are all participants of the Dagstuhl seminar we held last year: www.dagstuhl.de/24122. Led by @alexandr.bsky.social and Cyril de Bodt.

New preprint: SBI with foundation models!
Tired of training or tuning your inference network, or waiting for your simulations to finish? Our method NPE-PF can help: It provides training-free simulation-based inference, achieving competitive performance with orders of magnitude fewer simulations! ⚡️

The members of the Cluster of Excellence "Machine Learning: New Perspectives for Science" raise their glasses and celebrate securing another funding period.

We're super happy: Our Cluster of Excellence will continue to receive funding from the German Research Foundation @dfg.de ! Here’s to 7 more years of exciting research at the intersection of #machinelearning and science! Find out more: uni-tuebingen.de/en/research/... #ExcellenceStrategy

Great news! Our March SBI hackathon in Tübingen was a huge success, with 40+ participants (30 onsite!). Expect significant updates soon: awesome new features & a revamped documentation you'll love! Huge thanks to our amazing SBI community! Release details coming soon. 🥁 🎉

Happy to see this finally out!
My collaboration with @pirta-palola.bsky.social started at the ProbAI summer school in Trondheim and is a great example what can happen if you meet smart people with different backgrounds and spend a whole week together discussing science, coding and having fun!
