In the field of science and engineering, accurately modeling complex systems remains a challenge due to unknown physical mechanisms, measurement uncertainty, or the high computational cost of high-fidelity simulations. These difficulties limit the application of classical probabilistic inference methods, such as Markov chain Monte Carlo, especially in high-dimensional Bayesian inverse problems. However, the growing availability of experimental data has driven the use of machine learning techniques as a flexible alternative to explicit parametric models.
A promising approach is neural likelihood approximation, which directly learns the likelihood function from data without needing to know the underlying generative process. Traditionally, likelihood surrogates are trained by minimizing the Kullback-Leibler divergence between the true posterior and an approximate one, equivalent to minimizing the expected negative log-likelihood. Recent research has improved the theoretical foundations of this method by working with unnormalized potentials and incorporating normalization into the training objective, making the learning problem strictly convex. Furthermore, it is shown that empirical minimizers converge to the true likelihood as sample size increases, providing robust guarantees for practical applications.
These advances have direct implications in fields such as image processing, tomography, or material characterization, where inverse problems are ubiquitous. For example, in image deblurring or imaging problems based on partial differential equations, neural likelihood enables more accurate and efficient reconstructions. Companies working with scientific or industrial data can greatly benefit from these techniques to improve their predictive and diagnostic models.
