Abstract:

We formulate the inverse problem in a Bayesian framework and aim to train a generative model that allows us to simulate (i.e., sample from the likelihood) and do inference (i.e., sample from the posterior). We review the use of triangular normalizing flows for conditional sampling in this context and show how to combine two such triangular maps (an upper and a lower one) in to one invertible mapping that can be used for simulation and inference. We work out several useful properties of this invertible generative model and propose a possible training loss for training the map directly. We illustrate the workings of this new approach to conditional generative modeling numerically on a few stylized examples.
