• Title: Solution of Physics-based Bayesian Inverse Problems with Deep Generative Priors
• Authors: Dhruv V Patel, Deep Ray, Assad A Oberai
• Abstract summary: Inverse problems are notoriously difficult to solve because they can have no solutions, or have solutions that vary significantly in response to small perturbations in measurements. Bayer inference, which poses an inverse problem as an inference problem, addresses these difficulties. It is difficult to employ when inferring vectors of large dimensions, and/or when prior information is available through previously acquired samples. We apply these ideas to inverse problems that are diverse in terms of the governing physical principles, sources of prior knowledge, type of measurement, and the extent of available information about measurement noise.

• Abstract: Inverse problems are notoriously difficult to solve because they can have no solutions, multiple solutions, or have solutions that vary significantly in response to small perturbations in measurements. Bayesian inference, which poses an inverse problem as a stochastic inference problem, addresses these difficulties and provides quantitative estimates of the inferred field and the associated uncertainty. However, it is difficult to employ when inferring vectors of large dimensions, and/or when prior information is available through previously acquired samples. In this paper, we describe how deep generative adversarial networks can be used to represent the prior distribution in Bayesian inference and overcome these challenges. We apply these ideas to inverse problems that are diverse in terms of the governing physical principles, sources of prior knowledge, type of measurement, and the extent of available information about measurement noise. In each case we apply the proposed approach to infer the most likely solution and quantitative estimates of uncertainty.

• Variational Gaussian Processes For Linear Inverse Problems [0.0]
  In inverse problems the parameter or signal of interest is observed only indirectly, as an image of a given map, and the observations are typically corrupted with noise. Bayes offers a natural way to regularize these problems via the prior distribution and provides a probabilistic solution, quantifying the remaining uncertainty in the problem. We consider a collection of inverse problems including the heat equation, Volterra operator and Radon transform and inducing variable methods based on population and empirical spectral features.

  Weakly supervised question answering usually has only the final answers as supervision signals. There may exist many spurious solutions that coincidentally derive the correct answer, but training on such solutions can hurt model performance. We propose to explicitly exploit such semantic correlations by maximizing the mutual information between question-answer pairs and predicted solutions.

We empirically validate the efficacy of our method on various inverse problems, including compressed sensing with quantized measurements and denoising with highly structured noise patterns.
