Survival In-Context: Amortized Bayesian Survival Analysis via Prior-Fitted Networks

- A Prior-Fitted (foundation) model for survival data

- Prior-Fitted Network atchitecture inspired by TabPFN and TabICL

- Prior-Fitted-Paradigms allow intellegent prior encoding that is challenging for survival data

- No additional learning on training data necesseray. Only context data

- Blazingly fast through amortized characteristics of PFNs

It depends: Incorporating correlations for joint aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties of high-dimensional output spaces

- A method that can account for epistemic and aleatoric uncertainty in high-dimensional output spaces, e.g. image inpainting or colorization

- Account for correlations within the output space, e.g. pixels may change values as a function of its neighbours

- Solution Double low-rank + diagonal formulation of Gaussian approximations for the output spaces

- Agnostic about the Bayesian approximation as long as one can generate samples from the posterior

Addressing complex structures of measurement error arising in the exposure assessment in occupational epidemiology using a Bayesian hierarchical approach.

- Sometimes measurement errors are rediculously complex.

- You can use Bayesian ideas to do some magic and obtain unbiased results somehow.

- Here: Correcting measurement errors in Survival models for data of the Wismut cohort.

- Requires a lot of customization of a MCMC sampler with computational tricks.

Distributed non-disclosive validation of predictive models by a modified ROC-GLM

- Validate your ML models on remote locations without looking at the data.

- Utilizes SDC and Differential privacy to estimate ROC curves.

A Bayesian hierarchical approach to account for evidence and uncertainty in the modeling of infectious diseases: An application to COVID-19

- Combine the signal from different uncertain sources to get a reliable estimate of latent variables.

- Incorporates uncertainty of possibly contradicting data sources.

- Estimates disease dynamics to infer NPIs effects during COVID.

- Data of 20 European countries.

Using a Bayesian hierarchical approach to study the association between non-pharmaceutical interventions and the spread of Covid-19 in Germany

- An application of the methodology from above on German federal state level data.

- Some modifications.

- A lot of different NPIs were estimated.
