Latent Diffusion for Neural Spiking Data

NeurIPS 2024spotlight

Modern datasets in neuroscience enable unprecedented inquiries into the relationship between complex behaviors and the activity of many simultaneously recorded neurons. While latent variable models can successfully extract low-dimensional embeddings from such recordings, using them to generate reali…

Sourcerer: Sample-based Maximum Entropy Source Distribution Estimation

NeurIPS 2024poster

Scientific modeling applications often require estimating a distribution of parameters consistent with a dataset of observations - an inference task also known as source distribution estimation. This problem can be ill-posed, however, since many different source distributions might produce the same…

Generalized Bayesian Inference for Scientific Simulators via Amortized Cost Estimation

NeurIPS 2023poster

Simulation-based inference (SBI) enables amortized Bayesian inference for simulators with implicit likelihoods. But when we are primarily interested in the quality of predictive simulations, or when the model cannot exactly reproduce the observed data (i.e., is misspecified), targeting the Bayesian…
