Researchers have developed ENFR (Evidence Networks with Flow-matched References), a novel method for accurately estimating the absolute evidence of data-generating models. This approach builds upon the Evidence Network framework by learning Bayes factors with respect to a flow-matched reference, enabling the recovery of absolute evidence. The method demonstrates improved estimation of evidence compared to existing flow-based baselines and outperforms other density estimation techniques in benchmarks. Additionally, the researchers introduced and proved an architecture capable of jointly learning the individual evidences of multiple models, showcasing its performance and scalability across various scientific applications.
