Excited to share a new preprint with the amazing Thomas Williams (from @macsys.bsky.social ) and Louis du Plessis (from @bsse.ethz.ch ) on neural inference for phylodynamics. 🧬🌳 arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2603.08345

Amortized Phylodynamic Inference with Neural Bayes Estimators and Recursive Neural Networks

Phylodynamics is used to estimate epidemic dynamics from phylogenetic trees or genomic sequences of pathogens, but the likelihood calculations needed can be challenging for complex models. We present ...
