  "summary": "The Bayesian Ideal Observer (IO) establishes the theoretical upper bound on task performance for binary detection tasks. However, analytical computation of the IO test statistic is generally intractable. Numerical approaches based on Markov-chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods, including their recent deep generative model-based extensions, typically require extensive posterior sampling for each test…",
