Researchers have developed a new framework for neural likelihood approximation in Bayesian inverse problems, addressing challenges posed by complex scientific and engineering models. This approach trains likelihood surrogates by minimizing Kullback-Leibler divergence, which is equivalent to minimizing the expected negative log-likelihood. The proposed method improves theoretical foundations by allowing for un-normalized potentials, making the learning problem strictly convex and ensuring empirical minimizers converge to the true likelihood with sufficient data. The framework was successfully applied to deblurring and non-linear PDE-based imaging problems. AI
