Variational Inference over Non-differentiable Cardiac Simulators using Bayesian Optimization
Performing inference over simulators is generally intractable as their runtime means we cannot compute a marginal likelihood. We develop a likelihood-free inference method to infer parameters for a cardiac simulator, which replicates electrical flow through the heart to the body surface. We improve the fit of a state-of-the-art simulator to an electrocardiogram (ECG) recorded from a real patient.

Adversarial Variational Optimization of Non-Differentiable Simulators
Complex computer simulators are increasingly used across fields of science as generative models tying parameters of an underlying theory to experimental observations. Inference in this setup is often difficult, as simula…
Stochastic Gradient Bayesian Optimal Experimental Designs for Simulation-based Inference
Simulation-based inference (SBI) methods tackle complex scientific models with challenging inverse problems. However, SBI models often face a significant hurdle due to their non-differentiable nature, which hampers the u…

To accurately reproduce measurements from the real world, simulators need to have an adequate model of the physical system and require the parameters of the model be identified. We address the latter problem of estimatin…

We present a new algorithm for stochastic variational inference that targets at models with non-differentiable densities. One of the key challenges in stochastic variational inference is to come up with a low-variance es…
