• Abstract: Grazing-Incidence Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (GISAXS) is a modern imaging technique used in material research to study nanoscale materials. Reconstruction of the parameters of an imaged object imposes an ill-posed inverse problem that is further complicated when only an in-plane GISAXS signal is available. Traditionally used inference algorithms such as Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) rely on computationally expensive scattering simulation software, rendering analysis highly time-consuming. We propose a simulation-based framework that combines variational auto-encoders and normalizing flows to estimate the posterior distribution of object parameters given its GISAXS data. We apply the inference pipeline to experimental data and demonstrate that our method reduces the inference cost by orders of magnitude while producing consistent results with ABC.

  Simulation-based inference ( SBI) is capable of approximating the posterior distribution that relates input parameters to a given observation. In this work, we consider a tall data extension in which multiple observations are available to better infer the parameters of the model. We compare our method to recently proposed competing approaches on various numerical experiments and demonstrate its superiority in terms of numerical stability and computational cost.

  Diffusion models have recently emerged as a powerful framework for generative modeling. We introduce a mathematically rigorous framework called Denoising Diffusion Operators (DDOs) for training diffusion models in function space.

  characterisation of the brain grey matter cytoarchitecture with quantitative sensitivity to soma density and volume remains an unsolved challenge in dMRI.

We then apply modern tools from Bayesian analysis known as likelihood-free inference (LFI) to invert our proposed model.

  We provide quantum procedures that speed-up the solution of eigenproblems for data representation in machine learning. The power and practical use of these subroutines is shown through new quantum algorithms, sublinear in the input matrix's size, for principal component analysis, correspondence analysis, and latent semantic analysis. Results show that the run-time parameters that do not depend on the input's size are reasonable and that the error on the computed model is small, allowing for competitive classification performances.
