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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
