In this episode, Marvin Schmitt introduces the concept of amortized Bayesian inference, where the upfront training phase of a neural network is followed by fast posterior inference.
Marvin will guide us through this new concept, discussing his work in probabilistic machine learning and uncertainty quantification, using Bayesian inference with deep neural networks.
He also introduces BayesFlow, a Python library for amortized Bayesian workflows, and discusses its use cases in various fields, while also touching on the concept of deep fusion and its relation to multimodal simulation-based inference.
A PhD student in computer science at the University of Stuttgart, Marvin is supervised by two LBS guests you surely know — Paul Bürkner and Aki Vehtari. Marvin’s research combines deep learning and statistics, to make Bayesian inference fast and trustworthy.
In his free time, Marvin enjoys board games and is a passionate guitar player.

If there is one guest I don’t need to introduce, it’s mister Andrew Gelman. So… I won’t! I will refer you back to his two previous appearances on the show though, because learning from Andrew is always a pleasure. So go ahead and listen to episodes 20 and 27.
In this episode, Andrew and I discuss his new book, Active Statistics, which focuses on teaching and learning statistics through active student participation. Like this episode, the book is divided into three parts: 1) The ideas of statistics, regression, and causal inference; 2) The value of storytelling to make statistical concepts more relatable and interesting; 3) The importance of teaching statistics in an active learning environment, where students are engaged in problem-solving and discussion.
And Andrew is so active and knowledgeable that we of course touched on a variety of other topics — but for that, you’ll have to listen ;)

Takeaways:
- Active learning is essential for teaching and learning statistics.
- Storytelling can make statistical concepts more relatable and interesting.
- Teaching statistics in an active learning environment engages students in problem-solving and discussion.
- The book Active Statistics includes 52 stories, class participation activities, computer demonstrations, and homework assignments to facilitate active learning.
- Active learning, where students actively engage with the material through activities and discussions, is an effective approach to teaching statistics.
- The flipped classroom model, where students read and prepare before class and engage in problem-solving activities during class, can enhance learning and understanding.
- Clear organization and fluency in teaching statistics are important for student comprehension and engagement.
- Visualization plays a crucial role in understanding statistical concepts and aids in comprehension.
- The future of statistical education may involve new approaches and technologies, but the challenge lies in finding effective ways to teach basic concepts and make them relevant to real-world problems.
