[R] New open-source Python software for sample-efficient Bayesian inference
Relevant papers about the underlying algorithm were published at NeurIPS in 2018 and 2020, but this is the first Python implementation (there was a MATLAB implementation); the port took us a while but it can finally be used for machine learning purposes

New Python open-source software for sample-efficient Bayesian inference
The MATLAB implementation has been around for a while, and other research groups have applied it among other things for Bayesian parameter inference in:

[D] Understanding Generative Flow
I would recommend this list of resources on github to get you started. In particular, I highly recommend this lecture by Marcus Brubaker et al which explains the essential components that you need: linear transformations, coupling layers and the multiscale architecture.
