Fueled by the recent advances of Machine Learning in the last decade, a new breed of techniques have been developed to tackle statistical inference problems for "likelihood-free" cases, where it is possible to sample from the data-generating process (i.e. via stochastic simulators) but a closed form evaluation of the density is intractable.

This group of methods is known as "simulation-based inference" (SBI) or "likelihood-free inference" (LFI) and will be the dedicated topic of this PHYSTAT Workshop taking place from May 15th - May 17th 2024 at the Max-Planck Institute for Physics (MPP) in Garching near Munich.

PHYSTAT https://phystat.github.io/Website/) is a long-running workshop series that brings together statisticians, machine learning researchers and physicists to discuss shared topics and foster collaboration among the research communities.
