Researchers have introduced "prequential posteriors," a novel method for updating deep generative forecasting models (DGFMs) when new data becomes available. This approach addresses the challenge of intractable likelihood functions in DGFMs, which prevents the use of standard Bayesian data assimilation techniques. The new method utilizes a predictive-sequential loss function, proving effective for temporally dependent data and demonstrating that it concentrates around parameters with optimal predictive performance. For efficient computation, the researchers developed waste-free sequential Monte Carlo samplers with preconditioned gradient-based kernels, which were validated on synthetic and real-world meteorological datasets.
