Neural Density Estimation and Likelihood-free Inference
I consider two problems in machine learning and statistics: the problem of estimating the joint probability density of a collection of random variables, known as density estimation, and the problem of inferring model parameters when their likelihood is intractable, known as likelihood-free inference. The contribution of the thesis is a set of new methods for addressing these problems that are based on recent advances in neural networks and deep learning.

Likelihood-free inference of experimental Neutrino Oscillations using Neural Spline Flows
In machine learning, likelihood-free inference refers to the task of performing an analysis driven by data instead of an analytical expression. We discuss the application of Neural Spline Flows, a neural density estimati…

How can one perform Bayesian inference on stochastic simulators with intractable likelihoods? A recent approach is to learn the posterior from adaptively proposed simulations using neural network-based conditional densit…

In many scientific applications, we do not have explicit access to the likelihood function. However simulations of the process of interest, using different parameter settings, may give us access to the likelihood functio…
