We’ve got a new paper out on “Learning Likelihood-free Reference Priors”, forthcoming at
#ICML2025
. In this paper, we consider how reference priors (RPs) can be constructed for arbitrary simulation models. 🧵

There can be no better example of something deeply wrong with this country's national culture than the normalisation of the description of a soggy pre-packaged sandwich as a "main".

I used AI in my plasma physics research and it didn’t go the way I expected.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

Professor Nigel Shadbolt has shared his thoughts on the potential risks of AI-powered teddy bears that use AI to converse with children. He suggested that they 'could be used to survey, they could be used to appropriate and harvest data from the child.'

🆕 Agent Based Modelling Comes of Age
@doynefarmer.bsky.social
believes creating economic models that can make useful predictions may be the most important problem in economics today 🔖We summarise 3 of 2025's ground breaking papers 🔗https://www.inet.ox.ac.uk/news/agent-based-modelling-comes-of-age

Agent Based Modelling Comes of Age
Our recently published research demonstrates how ABMs is 'coming of age' cross three areas: central banking, economics and finance, and AI.

Definitely consider submitting your work to UAI, it's fantastic conference! And while you're at it, why not submit a shorter version to the AABI workshop track (deadline Feb 7)? 😉

See you at
#NeurIPS2024
! We’ll present two papers: 1) “Interventionally Consistent Surrogates for Complex Simulation Models”. Here, we propose a method for learning causal abstractions (“interventionally consistent surrogates”) of complex simulation models!
