We present O_SCPLOWMOMIC_SCPLOW3, a new method for inferring complex demographic models using genetic variation data sampled from many populations. O_SCPLOWMOMIC_SCPLOW3 features many improvements over its predecessor O_SCPLOWMOMIC_SCPLOW2 (Kamm, Terhorst, Durbin, et al., 2020), including support for continuous migration, just-in-time compilation, and execution on GPUs; a standardized interface for specifying demographic models; and a novel importance sampling strategy that enables it to efficiently analyze data from a large number of samples. Together, these improvements lead to speedups of as much as 1000x over existing state-of-the-art methods such as {partial}a{partial}i, O_SCPLOWMOMENTSC_SCPLOW, and O_SCPLOWMOMIC_SCPLOW2. We illustrate the usefulness of our method by revisiting a model of archaic admixture using a large, recent dataset containing hundreds of human genomes from many populations.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
