Approximate Bayesian Computation with Path Signatures
Simulation models often lack tractable likelihood functions, making likelihood-free inference methods indispensable. Approximate Bayesian computation generates likelihood-free posterior samples by comparing simulated and observed data through some distance measure, but existing approaches are often poorly suited to time series simulators, for example due to an independent and identically distributed data assumption. In this paper, we propose to use path signatures in approximate Bayesian computation to handle the sequential nature of time series. We provide theoretical guarantees on the resultant posteriors and demonstrate competitive Bayesian parameter inference for simulators generating univariate, multivariate, irregularly spaced, and even non-Euclidean sequences.

Universal approximation with signatures of non-geometric rough paths
We establish a universal approximation theorem for signatures of rough paths that are not necessarily weakly geometric. By extending the path with time and its rough path bracket terms, we prove that linear functionals o…
pathsig: A GPU-Accelerated Library for Truncated and Projected Path Signatures
Path signatures provide a rich representation of sequential data, with strong theoretical guarantees and good performance in a variety of machine-learning tasks. While signatures have progressed from fixed feature extrac…
Global universal approximation with Brownian signatures
We establish $L^p$-universal approximation theorems for general path-dependent and non-anticipative functionals on suitable rough path spaces, showing that linear functionals acting on signatures of time-extended rough p…
Gaussian ProcessesPersonalized pathology test for Cardio-vascular disease: Approximate Bayesian computation with discriminative summary statistics learning
Cardio/cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) have become one of the major health issue in our societies. But recent studies show that the present pathology tests to detect CVD are ineffectual as they do not consider different s…
Log-PDE Methods for Rough Signature Kernels
Signature kernels, inner products of path signatures, underpin several machine learning algorithms for multivariate time series analysis. For bounded variation paths, signature kernels were recently shown to solve a Gour…
