Prior specification is one of the hardest tasks in Bayesian modeling.
In our new paper, we (Florence Bockting, @stefanradev.bsky.social and me) develop a method for expert prior elicitation using generative neural networks and simulation-based learning.

Expert-elicitation method for non-parametric joint priors using normalizing flows
We propose an expert-elicitation method for learning non-parametric joint prior distributions using normalizing flows. Normalizing flows are a class of generative models that enable exact, single-step...

I call the desired capability super-elicitation, sort of analogous to super-persuasion. AI has to be able to drag what we want out of us

This hits on a super important point - a large share of survey experiments aren’t actually targeting a causal effect; they’re preference elicitation exercises.

Its good tradecraft to practice elicitation and counter elicitation but even though some people have a natural instinct for it it also flags the liklihood of specialized training in someone's background.

Check out my new blog post, 'ATProtocol Patterns: Record Elicitation'. In ATProtocol, only the user's client can write to their repo. But what if the AppView has information the client doesn't?
ATProtocol Patterns: Record Elicitation
Record elicitation is a pattern where a client asks an AppView to construct a record from the user's intent, rather than building it locally. This lets the AppView handle business logic, validation, and schema complexity while the client retains full authority over what gets written to the user's repository.
