Simulation-based inference and the places it takes us
"CMMS Talks" event with a talk by Prof. Dr. Jakob Macke (University of Tübingen)
Venue: FIAS Lecture Hall / online
Our next "CMMS Talks" event with a talk by Prof. Dr. Jakob Macke will take place on Thursday, 30 November 2023 at 2 p.m. in the FIAS lecture hall.
Abstract:
Many fields of science make extensive use of mechanistic forward models which are implemented through numerical simulators. Simulation-based inference aims to make it possible to perform Bayesian inference on such models by only using model-simulations, but not requiring access to likelihood evaluations. I will talk about our recent work on developing simulation based inference methods using flexible density estimators parameterised with neural networks, and applications to modelling problems in astrophysics, neuroscience and computational imaging.
