Abstract
Randomize-then-optimize (RTO) is widely used for sampling from posterior distributions in Bayesian inverse problems. However, RTO can be computationally intensive for complexity problems due to repetitive evaluations of the expensive forward model and its gradient. In this work, we present a novel goal-oriented deep neural networks (DNN) surrogate approach to substantially reduce the computation burden of RTO.
In particular, we propose to drawn the training points for the DNN-surrogate from a local approximated posterior distribution – yielding a flexible and efficient sampling algorithm that converges to the direct RTO approach. We present a Bayesian inverse problem governed by elliptic PDEs to demonstrate the computational accuracy and efficiency of our DNN-RTO approach, which shows that DNN-RTO can significantly outperform the traditional RTO.
