Yay priorVAE! For anyone who wants to try something similar, the brilliant students working with @liza-semenova.bsky.social and I have a ton of useful extensions in the GitHub.com/MLGlobalHealth/dl4bi repo. And we're always open to collaboration

In past work we combined a Gaussian process with a hidden Markov model for detecting stellar flares. But the GPs are slow & make it harder to scale. In this work, Rodrigo approximates the GP w/ variational autoencoders and we do full MCMC for the approx GP + HMM -- can be up >200x faster!
Show PostWent to StanCon 2 years ago & saw a presentation by @liza-semenova.bsky.social And now, here's our first paper together inspired by that talk, led by mine and Gwen Eadie's PhD student Rodrigo Herrera arxiv.org/abs/2606.22601

I just had a coffee at Asia Square before going to school this morning. Just in front of the Asia Square tower, I met a group of lesser whistling ducks (Fr: dendrocygne siffleur, Jp: リュウキュウガモ). First time since 2022!
