🙏 Please help us improve the SBI toolbox! 🙏 In preparation for the SBI Hackathon, we’re running a user study to learn what we can improve and how we can grow. 👉 Please share your thoughts here: forms.gle/foHK7myV2oaK1NU57 Your input will make a big difference—thank you! 🙌

Thrilled to announce we have three #NeurIPS2024 papers! Interested in simulating realistic neural data with diffusion models or recurrent neural networks, or in source distribution sorcery? Have a look 👇 1/4

We introduce a new maximum-entropy, sample-based approach to solve the source distribution estimation problem. Poster #4006 (East; Fri 13 Dec 11:00 PT). By Julius Vetter, @guymoss13, ➡️openreview.net/forum?id=0cgD… 4/4

The sbi package is growing into a community project 🌎 To reflect this and the algorithms, neural nets, and diagnostics that have been added since its initial release, we have written a new software paper. Reach out if you want to get involved: arxiv.org/abs/2411.17337

A propos: Inspired to do a PhD or Postdoc in #ML4Science/#AI4Science? We have multiple openings to work ML and AI tools for scientific discovery, in neuroscience and beyond! Full details: mackelab.org/media/Ad_Mackel… Students: Apply by Nov 15, directly to IMPRS-IS or @ELLISforEurope

I hacked together a semantic search engine for ICLR 2025 paper submissions! 🔍📄 Uses OpenAI embeddings and BM25 reranking. Anecdotally, it feels much more useful than the OpenReview search button! Try it out now: iclr-search.jkapoor.me (Fun fact, I did not write a single line of non-python code. @cursor_ai is insanely powerful🧠)

We’re at Bernstein Conference next week with lots of new work to share: 10 posters, 1 workshop talk, and don’t miss @jakhmack’s invited talk on Wednesday! If you’re excited about machine learning for (neuro)science, come chat with us—we’re hiring PhD students & postdocs!

We’re stoked to share: “A Practical Guide to Sample-based Statistical Distances for Evaluating Generative Models in Science”. Now out in TMLR: openreview.net/forum?id=isEF… This was an incredibly special project for us, as it involved the **entire** lab getting together!

Puh, we have been preparing the new release of the sbi toolbox for quite a while now, and I am really glad to see it out now! Have a look, there are a lot of cool new features! 🚀

We just released a new version of `sbi`, and this one has _a ton_ of new features! Many of these features are thanks to more than 30 (mostly new) contributors. We are very excited about the growing community and the new release! 🧵 1/8

We’re excited to share that the SBI package is now officially @NumFOCUS affiliated and growing into a community project. A lot of upcoming release originated from a hackathon earlier this year, and there are more events planned soon. Stay tuned for details! #opensource #hackathon

Just came from organising the the bio-inspired deep learning workshop with @BernaezLaura and lead by @ppjgoncalves. It was an absolutely fantastic experience and with great projects that I hope will lead to further collaboration.
