Probabilistic Autoencoder using Fisher Information

no code implementations28 Oct 2021 Johannes Zacherl, Philipp Frank, Torsten A. Enßlin

In this architecture, the latent space uncertainty is not generated using an additional information channel in the encoder, but derived from the decoder, by means of the Fisher information metric.

Geometric variational inference

no code implementations21 May 2021 Philipp Frank, Reimar Leike, Torsten A. Enßlin

Efficiently accessing the information contained in non-linear and high dimensional probability distributions remains a core challenge in modern statistics.

Bayesian decomposition of the Galactic multi-frequency sky using probabilistic autoencoders

no code implementations14 Sep 2020 Sara Milosevic, Philipp Frank, Reimar H. Leike, Ancla Müller, Torsten A. Enßlin

The three most significant feature maps encode astrophysical components: (1) The dense interstellar medium (ISM), (2) the hot and dilute regions of the ISM and (3) the CMB.

Comparison of classical and Bayesian imaging in radio interferometry

no code implementations26 Aug 2020 Philipp Arras, Richard A. Perley, Hertzog L. Bester, Reimar Leike, Oleg Smirnov, Rüdiger Westermann, Torsten A. Enßlin

CLEAN, the commonly employed imaging algorithm in radio interferometry, suffers from a number of shortcomings: in its basic version it does not have the concept of diffuse flux, and the common practice of convolving the CLEAN components with the CLEAN beam erases the potential for super-resolution; it does not output uncertainty information; it produces images with unphysical negative flux regions; and its results are highly dependent on the so-called weighting scheme as well as on any human choice of CLEAN masks to guiding the imaging.

Metric Gaussian Variational Inference

2 code implementations30 Jan 2019 Jakob Knollmüller, Torsten A. Enßlin

We propose Metric Gaussian Variational Inference (MGVI) as a method that goes beyond mean-field.

Encoding prior knowledge in the structure of the likelihood

no code implementations11 Dec 2018 Jakob Knollmüller, Torsten A. Enßlin

This transformation is a special form of the reparametrization trick, flattens the hierarchy and leads to a standard Gaussian prior on all resulting parameters.

Correlated signal inference by free energy exploration

no code implementations26 Dec 2016 Torsten A. Enßlin, Jakob Knollmüller

The inference of correlated signal fields with unknown correlation structures is of high scientific and technological relevance, but poses significant conceptual and numerical challenges.

Optimal Belief Approximation

no code implementations27 Oct 2016 Reimar H. Leike, Torsten A. Enßlin

The loss function that is obtained in the derivation is equal to the Kullback-Leibler divergence when normalized.

Stochastic determination of matrix determinants

1 code implementation10 Apr 2015 Sebastian Dorn, Torsten A. Enßlin

Matrix determinants play an important role in data analysis, in particular when Gaussian processes are involved.

Signal inference with unknown response: Calibration-uncertainty renormalized estimator

no code implementations23 Oct 2014 Sebastian Dorn, Torsten A. Enßlin, Maksim Greiner, Marco Selig, Vanessa Boehm

The calibration of a measurement device is crucial for every scientific experiment, where a signal has to be inferred from data.

Improving self-calibration

no code implementations4 Dec 2013 Torsten A. Enßlin, Henrik Junklewitz, Lars Winderling, Maksim Greiner, Marco Selig

Contemporary self-calibration schemes try to find a self-consistent solution for signal and calibration by exploiting redundancies in the measurements.

NIFTY - Numerical Information Field Theory - a versatile Python library for signal inference

no code implementations18 Jan 2013 Marco Selig, Michael R. Bell, Henrik Junklewitz, Niels Oppermann, Martin Reinecke, Maksim Greiner, Carlos Pachajoa, Torsten A. Enßlin

NIFTY, "Numerical Information Field Theory", is a software package designed to enable the development of signal inference algorithms that operate regardless of the underlying spatial grid and its resolution.
