🚀 New paper at ICML 2026! For Wasserstein gradient flows with N particles, the cost is N^2 due to interactions. We reduce the cost from N^2 to N^{1.5}, without sacrificing the quality simulated until convergence. The key idea is kernel thinning! ✨ 📄 arxiv.org/pdf/2605.28589

Just finished delivering a course on 'Robust and scalable simulation-based inference (SBI)' at Greek Stochastics. This covered an introduction to SBI, open challenges, and some recent contributions from my own group. The slides are now available here: fxbriol.github.io/pdfs/slides-SB…
