I have written an inverse code that uses CoFI but how do I share my example?

• Excellent! We use cofi-gallery to host user-contributed CoFI showcases.

• Simply create an issue with a link to your example, a thumbnail image and a title. We refer you to this contributor guide for detailed instructions.

I would like to see a specific inference method become a part of CoFI, what do I do?

• If you identify a method or inference tool that suits CoFI’s purpose well, you are welcome to raise an issue here or contact us directly Slack.

I would like to integrate my inference method into CoFI, what do I do?

• Please head to CoFI’s contributor guide and follow the steps under the adding a new inference tool section.

Can I use CoFI to run my inversion in parallel if the selected tool allows that?

• Yes. You can run your inversion in parallel using exactly the same ways as are described in the tool’s own documentation.

• Take emcee as an example, you can use CoFI to run a sampling process in parallel with exactly the same way as described in their documentation. Click here for an example adapted from their documentation.
