So glad to share this work on Bayesian phylogenetics in hyperbolic space! Hyperbolic embeddings change trees from discrete objects into continuous parameters, giving “nearby” trees. arxiv.org/abs/2206.08044
Great opportunity to do a PhD on a relevant issue. 2 PhD scholarships available to develop realtime outbreak surveillance methods. Join @koadman and myself @ithreeinst. bit.ly/2WM9Skv and bit.ly/2LhnPS6

Tomorrow Cheng Zhang
(Peking University) will be describing his work on
variational Bayesian phylogenetic inference. Tuesday, November 12, 4:00 PM PST

Today, most Bayesian phylogenetics uses MCMC. But there are other, potentially much faster ways to do Bayesian inference. In a new manuscript @koadman and I explore variational inference in the Stan language as an alternative biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
