Multiple circuit settings of the🦞STG achieve the same network activity. But which of those⚙️ are energy efficient?
Find out at #Cosyne21 Poster 3-027 (a+b, 2-4pm + 9-11pm CET) by @deismic_ @ppjgoncalves!

Simulation-based inference algorithms are useful to identify parameters of simulators from data. But there are so many approaches - how do they compare?
We made a benchmark!

Do you use numerical simulations, but are struggling to find parameters which make your model fit data? Simulation-based inference doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1912789… can come to the rescue. We are releasing sbi, a toolbox to explore new #SBI methods, mackelab.org/sbi 1/6

The Pyro team is excited to release NumPyro, a JAX backend for the Pyro probabilistic programming language. The modeling language mirrors Pyro, and inference via HMC and NUTS is very fast. Let us know what you think! github.com/pyro-ppl/numpyro

APT uses neural networks to learn posteriors from simulated data.
Building on work by @gpapamak @driainmurray @janmatthis @ppjgoncalves, David + Marcel came up with a new approach (image: the original whiteboard...) which is more efficient + flexible + scalable to high-dim data.
