Variational Autoencoding of PDE Inverse Problems
Specifying a governing physical model in the presence of missing physics and recovering its parameters are two intertwined and fundamental problems in science. Modern machine learning allows one to circumvent these, via emulators and surrogates, but in doing so disregards prior knowledge and physical laws that are especially important for small data regimes, interpretability, and decision making. In this work we fold the mechanistic model into a flexible data-driven surrogate to arrive at a physically structured decoder network. This provides accelerated inference for the Bayesian inverse problem, and can act as a drop-in regulariser that encodes a-priori physical information. We employ the variational form of the PDE problem and introduce stochastic local approximations as a form of model based data augmentation. We demonstrate both the accuracy and increased computational efficiency of the framework on real world settings and structured spatial processes.

Solving Inverse Problems by Joint Posterior Maximization with Autoencoding Prior
In this work we address the problem of solving ill-posed inverse problems in imaging where the prior is a variational autoencoder (VAE). Specifically we consider the decoupled case where the prior is trained once and can…
DenoisingVariational Gaussian Processes For Linear Inverse Problems
By now Bayesian methods are routinely used in practice for solving inverse problems. In inverse problems the parameter or signal of interest is observed only indirectly, as an image of a given map, and the observations a…
