E. coli can spread as quickly as swine flu, new research reveals. 🦠 For the first time, scientists can predict the rate at which gut bacteria pass between people — a major step towards tackling antibiotic-resistant infections. Read here ⤵️ sanger.ac.uk/news_item/ad...

Advanced disease modelling shows some gut bacteria can spread as rapidly as viruses

Experts can now predict the transmission rate of a bacterial E. coli infection in the same way as they can for viral pandemics, which can help battling treatment-resistant infections in the future.

1/ Introducing ACE (Amortized Conditioning Engine)! Our new AISTATS 2025 paper presents a transformer framework that unifies tasks from image completion to BayesOpt & simulator-based inference under *one* probabilistic conditioning approach. It's Bayes all the way down!

We have a new preprint out! The title says it all.

New paper out. We accelerate ABC SMC especially at the early iterations by using the binning of the simulation outcomes based on distance to observation to re-weight the samples. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Stratified distance space improves the efficiency of sequential samplers for approximate Bayesian computation

Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) methods are standard tools for inferring parameters of complex models when the likelihood function is analytica…

I am running my statistical rethinking course again starting in January. But this time just for Leipzig locals, so I can work with a smaller group this year and track individual progress better. I think that will help me tune the material, espeically homework, better. Materials still open however.
