Takeaways:

  • Designing experiments is about optimal data gathering.
  • The optimal design maximizes the amount of information.
  • The best experiment reduces uncertainty the most.
  • Computational challenges limit the feasibility of BED in practice.
  • Amortized Bayesian inference can speed up computations.
  • A good underlying model is crucial for effective BED.
  • Adaptive experiments are more complex than static ones.
  • The future of BED is promising with advancements in AI.
