Finite mixture models are useful when data comes from multiple latent processes.

BayesFlow allows:
• Approximating the joint posterior of model parameters and mixture indicators
• Inferences for independent and dependent mixtures
• Amortization for fast and accurate estimation

A study with 5M+ data points explores the link between cognitive parameters and socioeconomic outcomes: The stability of processing speed was the strongest predictor.

BayesFlow facilitated efficient inference for complex decision-making models, scaling Bayesian workflows to big data.

Neural superstatistics are a framework for probabilistic models with time-varying parameters:

⋅ Joint estimation of stationary and time-varying parameters
⋅ Amortized parameter inference and model comparison
⋅ Multi-horizon predictions and leave-future-out CV

Any single analysis hides an iceberg of uncertainty.

Sensitivity-aware amortized inference explores the iceberg:
⋅ Test alternative priors, likelihoods, and data perturbations
⋅ Deep ensembles flag misspecification issues
⋅ No model refits required during inference

To celebrate the new beginnings on Bluesky, let's reminisce about one of our highlights from the old days:

The unexpected shout-out by @fchollet.bsky.social that made everyone go crazy on the BayesFlow Slack server and led to a 15% increase in GitHub stars.

BayesFlow is a library for amortized Bayesian inference with neural networks.

⋅ Multi-backend via Keras 3: Use PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX.
⋅ Modern nets: Flow matching, diffusion, consistency models, normalizing flows, transformers
⋅ Built-in diagnostics and plotting
