Broadband Ground-Motion Synthesis by Conditioning Denoising Diffusion Models on Low-Frequency Waveforms

Kadek Hendrawan Palgunadi, Simon Dirmeier, Maria Koroni +2

Seismic hazard and structural analyses require broadband ground-motion time histories, yet the high-frequency band (above 1~Hz) is the hardest to obtain: physics-based simulations…

Causal Posterior Estimation

Simon Dirmeier, Antonietta Mira

We present Causal Posterior Estimation (CPE), a novel method for Bayesian inference in simulator models, where evaluating the likelihood function is intractable or computationally…

A thermodynamic approach to Approximate Bayesian Computation with multiple summary statistics

Carlo Albert, Simone Ulzega, Simon Dirmeier +3

Bayesian inference with stochastic models is often difficult because their likelihood functions involve high-dimensional integrals. Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) avoids ev…

Diffusion models for probabilistic programming

Simon Dirmeier, Fernando Perez-Cruz

We propose Diffusion Model Variational Inference (DMVI), a novel method for automated approximate inference in probabilistic programming languages (PPLs). DMVI utilizes diffusion m…
