new paper on simulation-based inference using Gaussian mixtures to learn likelihood and posterior, without neural networks 😱😱😱 Our SeMPLE (Sequential Mixture Posterior and Likelihood Estimation) provides excellent inference and excels when the posterior is multimodal. 1/n

Hey everyone, I finally got a new role at the Met Office. I'm scoping what a data-driven climate model might look like. So, if you're into ML and climate, foundation models or something more lightweight, get in touch. It would be great to chat.

I don't understand how you can launch your "Get Britain Working White Paper ", without the white paper once mentioning Long Covid. I had hoped for better from this government. buff.ly/3Z9BBeR

Really proud of this piece. Grateful to Avalyn, Rowan and Sarah for sharing their stories. It's a national scandal that long Covid patients have been forgotten by the government, employers & society at large. The least we can do is keep talking about them theguardian.com/society/2025/m…
