Researchers have developed a novel one-step implicit sampler (OSIS) designed to efficiently draw unbiased samples from Bayesian posterior distributions in high dimensions. This method leverages short-time Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) dynamics to define a local target for an implicitly modeled distribution. OSIS aims to overcome the challenge of scalable one-step amortised inference, a problem that typically requires multiple steps with existing algorithms. The paper analyzes OSIS's convergence properties and demonstrates its competitive performance against multi-step amortised samplers and non-amortised MCMC baselines, while offering significantly greater sampling efficiency.
