Abstract excerpt
Probabilistic models such as the sequentially Markovian coalescent have long provided a powerful framework for population genetic inference, enabling reconstruction of demographic history and ancestral relationships from genomic data. However, these methods are inherently specialized, relying on predefined assumptions and/or limited scalability. Recent advances in simulation and deep learning provide an...
