Enhanced Diffusion Sampling: Efficient Rare Event Sampling and Free Energy Calculation with Diffusion Models
Yu Xie, Ludwig Winkler, Lixin Sun +10
The rare-event sampling problem has long been the central limiting factor in molecular dynamics (MD), especially in biomolecular simulation. Recently, diffusion models such as BioE…
Modern Bayesian Experimental Design
Tom Rainforth, Adam Foster, Desi R Ivanova +1
Bayesian experimental design (BED) provides a powerful and general framework for optimizing the design of experiments. However, its deployment often poses substantial computational…
CO-BED: Information-Theoretic Contextual Optimization via Bayesian Experimental Design
Desi R. Ivanova, Joel Jennings, Tom Rainforth +2
We formalize the problem of contextual optimization through the lens of Bayesian experimental design and propose CO-BED -- a general, model-agnostic framework for designing context…
Efficient Real-world Testing of Causal Decision Making via Bayesian Experimental Design for Contextual Optimisation
Desi R. Ivanova, Joel Jennings, Cheng Zhang +1
The real-world testing of decisions made using causal machine learning models is an essential prerequisite for their successful application. We focus on evaluating and improving co…
Deep End-to-end Causal Inference
Tomas Geffner, Javier Antoran, Adam Foster +9
Causal inference is essential for data-driven decision making across domains such as business engagement, medical treatment and policy making. However, research on causal discovery…
Implicit Deep Adaptive Design: Policy-Based Experimental Design without Likelihoods
Desi R. Ivanova, Adam Foster, Steven Kleinegesse +2
We introduce implicit Deep Adaptive Design (iDAD), a new method for performing adaptive experiments in real-time with implicit models. iDAD amortizes the cost of Bayesian optimal e…
On Contrastive Representations of Stochastic Processes
Emile Mathieu, Adam Foster, Yee Whye Teh
Learning representations of stochastic processes is an emerging problem in machine learning with applications from meta-learning to physical object models to time series. Typical m…
Contrastive Mixture of Posteriors for Counterfactual Inference, Data Integration and Fairness
Adam Foster, Árpi Vezér, Craig A Glastonbury +3
Learning meaningful representations of data that can address challenges such as batch effect correction and counterfactual inference is a central problem in many domains including…
Deep Adaptive Design: Amortizing Sequential Bayesian Experimental Design
Adam Foster, Desi R. Ivanova, Ilyas Malik +1
We introduce Deep Adaptive Design (DAD), a method for amortizing the cost of adaptive Bayesian experimental design that allows experiments to be run in real-time. Traditional seque…
A Unified Stochastic Gradient Approach to Designing Bayesian-Optimal Experiments
Adam Foster, Martin Jankowiak, Matthew O'Meara +2
We introduce a fully stochastic gradient based approach to Bayesian optimal experimental design (BOED). Our approach utilizes variational lower bounds on the expected information g…
Variational Bayesian Optimal Experimental Design
Adam Foster, Martin Jankowiak, Eli Bingham +4
Bayesian optimal experimental design (BOED) is a principled framework for making efficient use of limited experimental resources. Unfortunately, its applicability is hampered by th…
Sampling and Inference for Beta Neutral-to-the-Left Models of Sparse Networks
Benjamin Bloem-Reddy, Adam Foster, Emile Mathieu +1
Empirical evidence suggests that heavy-tailed degree distributions occurring in many real networks are well-approximated by power laws with exponents that may take values eithe…
