Bernstein--von Mises theorems for Bayesian probabilistic numerics

Sascha Gaudlitz, Sven Wang

We study probabilistic numerical methods for solving nonlinear PDEs from a Bayesian nonparametric perspective. Given noisy evaluations at random collocation points, we place a trun…

Global polynomial-time estimation in statistical nonlinear inverse problems via generalized stability

Sven Wang

Non-linear statistical inverse problems pose major challenges both for statistical analysis and computation. Likelihood-based estimators typically lead to non-convex and possibly m…

Statistical Learning Theory for Neural Operators

Niklas Reinhardt, Sven Wang, Jakob Zech

We present statistical convergence results for the learning of (possibly) non-linear mappings in infinite-dimensional spaces. Specifically, given a map $G_0:\mathcal X\to\mathcal Y…

Wasserstein-based Minimax Estimation of Dependence in Multivariate Regularly Varying Extremes

Xuhui Zhang, Jose Blanchet, Youssef Marzouk +2

We present the first minimax risk bounds for estimators of the spectral measure in multivariate linear factor models, where observations are linear combinations of regularly varyin…

Distribution learning via neural differential equations: a nonparametric statistical perspective

Youssef Marzouk, Zhi Ren, Sven Wang +1

Ordinary differential equations (ODEs), via their induced flow maps, provide a powerful framework to parameterize invertible transformations for the purpose of representing complex…

On free energy barriers in Gaussian priors and failure of cold start MCMC for high-dimensional unimodal distributions

Afonso S. Bandeira, Antoine Maillard, Richard Nickl +1

We exhibit examples of high-dimensional unimodal posterior distributions arising in non-linear regression models with Gaussian process priors for which MCMC methods can take an exp…

On minimax density estimation via measure transport

Sven Wang, Youssef Marzouk

We study the convergence properties, in Hellinger and related distances, of nonparametric density estimators based on measure transport. These estimators represent the measure of i…

Laplace priors and spatial inhomogeneity in Bayesian inverse problems

Sergios Agapiou, Sven Wang

Spatially inhomogeneous functions, which may be smooth in some regions and rough in other regions, are modelled naturally in a Bayesian manner using so-called Besov priors which ar…

On polynomial-time computation of high-dimensional posterior measures by Langevin-type algorithms

Richard Nickl, Sven Wang

The problem of generating random samples of high-dimensional posterior distributions is considered. The main results consist of non-asymptotic computational guarantees for Langevin…

The nonparametric LAN expansion for discretely observed diffusions

Sven Wang

Consider a scalar reflected diffusion , where the unknown drift function is modelled nonparametrically. We show that in the low frequency sampling case, when the…
