Minimizing $f$-Divergences by Interpolating Velocity Fields

ICML 2024poster

Many machine learning problems can be seen as approximating a *target* distribution using a *particle* distribution by minimizing their statistical discrepancy. Wasserstein Gradient Flow can move particles along a path that minimizes the $f$-divergence between the target and particle distributions.…

Sequential Neural Score Estimation: Likelihood-Free Inference with Conditional Score Based Diffusion Models

ICML 2024spotlight

We introduce Sequential Neural Posterior Score Estimation (SNPSE), a score-based method for Bayesian inference in simulator-based models. Our method, inspired by the remarkable success of score-based methods in generative modelling, leverages conditional score-based diffusion models to generate samp…
