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.

Super excited to start as an assistant professor in applied statistics at Tampere University! At the same time, leaving Oslo and @ocbe.bsky.social after six years is really sad. Hopefully we’ll get to come back often.

JOBS ALERT! PhD position & 3-y postdoc position in statistics within my research group at @ocbe.bsky.social @uio.no
Both are linked to a project funded from the Research Council of Norway on Integrative Bayesian clustering for high-dim data in omics

Deadline: 13 June 2025

Deadline: March 31st, 2025.

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...

I created a starter pack for simulation-based inference (aka. likelihood-free inference).

Let me know if you’d like me to add you.

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.
