Scalable Bayesian full waveform inversion via dual augmented Lagrangian SVGD

Kamal Aghazade, Ali Siahkoohi, Ali Gholami

Full waveform inversion is an ill-posed inverse problem whose solution non-uniqueness -- i.e., arising from band-limited, finite-aperture, noisy data -- calls for uncertainty quant…

Dual-space posterior sampling for Bayesian inference in constrained inverse problems

Ali Siahkoohi, Kamal Aghazade, Ali Gholami

Inverse problems constrained by partial differential equations are often ill-conditioned due to noisy, incomplete data or inherent non-uniqueness. A prominent example is full wavef…
