Neural Posterior Learning for Bayesian Model Choice
This project focuses on using neural network as an approach to address the limitations in Bayesian Model Choice for models with intractable likelihoods. Traditional approaches usually rely on summaries of data that can lose important information and suffers from curse of dimensionality. The core component is to investigate deep learning architectures to understand which ones perform the best when models are overlapping and use the findings to develop an ABC methodology using neural networks embeddings as summary statistics to perform model choice via ABC. This would provide uncertainty quantification for the candidate models available for model choice.
