Optimization, model fitting, and model comparison
I have been giving seminars, tutorials, and workshops on optimization (including BADS), model fitting, and model comparison at summer schools and for research groups at various institutions, for a duration that ranges from 20 minutes to 4 hours.
As a representative example, you can find code and slides for a tutorial that I recently gave at the Bristol Neuroscience group on this Github repo.
I also like to play around with visualizations for demonstration purposes. This is a demo I built of several optimizers at work (link).
If you would like to invite me to give a seminar or tutorial about these topics, in person or in telepresence, please get in touch at luigi.acerbi@gmail.com.
