The efficacy and generalizability of conditional GANs for posterior inference in physics-based inverse problems
In this work, we train conditional Wasserstein generative adversarial networks to effectively sample from the posterior of physics-based Bayesian inference problems. The generator is constructed using a U-Net architecture, with the latent information injected using conditional instance normalization. The former facilitates a multiscale inverse map, while the latter enables the decoupling of the latent space dimension from the dimension of the measurement, and introduces stochasticity at all scales of the U-Net. We solve PDE-based inverse problems to demonstrate the performance of our approach in quantifying the uncertainty in the inferred field. Further, we show the generator can learn inverse maps which are local in nature, which in turn promotes generalizability when testing with out-of-distribution samples.

In the absence of explicit or tractable likelihoods, Bayesians often resort to approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) for inference. Our work bridges ABC with deep neural implicit samplers based on generative adversarial…
Y-Diagonal Couplings: Approximating Posteriors with Conditional Wasserstein Distances
In inverse problems, many conditional generative models approximate the posterior measure by minimizing a distance between the joint measure and its learned approximation. While this approach also controls the distance b…
On the approximation of posterior laws in compound loss models by conditional Wasserstein GANs
Bayesian inference in compound loss models must often be repeated across policies, market scenarios, and prior specifications. Outside conjugate cases, this may require repeated numerical integration or Markov chain Mont…
