Solving Bayesian inverse problems with diffusion priors and off-policy RL

no code implementations12 Mar 2025 Luca Scimeca, Siddarth Venkatraman, Moksh Jain, Minsu Kim, Marcin Sendera, Mohsin Hasan, Luke Rowe, Sarthak Mittal, Pablo Lemos, Emmanuel Bengio, Alexandre Adam, Jarrid Rector-Brooks, Yashar Hezaveh, Laurence Perreault-Levasseur, Yoshua Bengio, Glen Berseth, Nikolay Malkin

This paper presents a practical application of Relative Trajectory Balance (RTB), a recently introduced off-policy reinforcement learning (RL) objective that can asymptotically solve Bayesian inverse problems optimally.

IRIS: A Bayesian Approach for Image Reconstruction in Radio Interferometry with expressive Score-Based priors

1 code implementation5 Jan 2025 Noé Dia, M. J. Yantovski-Barth, Alexandre Adam, Micah Bowles, Laurence Perreault-Levasseur, Yashar Hezaveh, Anna Scaife

Inferring sky surface brightness distributions from noisy interferometric data in a principled statistical framework has been a key challenge in radio astronomy.

Tackling the Problem of Distributional Shifts: Correcting Misspecified, High-Dimensional Data-Driven Priors for Inverse Problems

no code implementations24 Jul 2024 Gabriel Missael Barco, Alexandre Adam, Connor Stone, Yashar Hezaveh, Laurence Perreault-Levasseur

In these cases, corrupted data or a surrogate, e. g. a simulator, is often used to produce training samples, meaning that there is a risk of obtaining misspecified priors.

PQMass: Probabilistic Assessment of the Quality of Generative Models using Probability Mass Estimation

no code implementations6 Feb 2024 Pablo Lemos, Sammy Sharief, Nikolay Malkin, Salma Salhi, Connor Stone, Laurence Perreault-Levasseur, Yashar Hezaveh

We propose a likelihood-free method for comparing two distributions given samples from each, with the goal of assessing the quality of generative models.

Improving Gradient-guided Nested Sampling for Posterior Inference

1 code implementation6 Dec 2023 Pablo Lemos, Nikolay Malkin, Will Handley, Yoshua Bengio, Yashar Hezaveh, Laurence Perreault-Levasseur

We present a performant, general-purpose gradient-guided nested sampling algorithm, ${\tt GGNS}$, combining the state of the art in differentiable programming, Hamiltonian slice sampling, clustering, mode separation, dynamic nested sampling, and parallelization.

On Diffusion Modeling for Anomaly Detection

1 code implementation29 May 2023 Victor Livernoche, Vineet Jain, Yashar Hezaveh, Siamak Ravanbakhsh

By simplifying DDPM in application to anomaly detection, we are naturally led to an alternative approach called Diffusion Time Estimation (DTE).

Sampling-Based Accuracy Testing of Posterior Estimators for General Inference

2 code implementations6 Feb 2023 Pablo Lemos, Adam Coogan, Yashar Hezaveh, Laurence Perreault-Levasseur

We demonstrate the method on a variety of synthetic examples, and show that TARP can be used to test the results of posterior inference analyses in high-dimensional spaces.

Pixelated Reconstruction of Foreground Density and Background Surface Brightness in Gravitational Lensing Systems using Recurrent Inference Machines

no code implementations10 Jan 2023 Alexandre Adam, Laurence Perreault-Levasseur, Yashar Hezaveh, Max Welling

In this work, we use a neural network based on the Recurrent Inference Machine (RIM) to simultaneously reconstruct an undistorted image of the background source and the lens mass density distribution as pixelated maps.

Posterior samples of source galaxies in strong gravitational lenses with score-based priors

no code implementations7 Nov 2022 Alexandre Adam, Adam Coogan, Nikolay Malkin, Ronan Legin, Laurence Perreault-Levasseur, Yashar Hezaveh, Yoshua Bengio

Inferring accurate posteriors for high-dimensional representations of the brightness of gravitationally-lensed sources is a major challenge, in part due to the difficulties of accurately quantifying the priors.
