Formulating a statistical inverse problem as one of inference in a Bayesian model has great appeal, notably for what this brings in terms of coherence, the interpretability of regularisation penalties, the integration of all uncertainties,…

Modern generative models can produce realistic samples, however, balancing memorisation and generalisation remains an open problem. We approach this challenge from a Bayesian perspective by focusing on the parameter space of flow matching…

Generative networks have experienced great empirical successes in distribution learning. Many existing experiments have demonstrated that generative networks can generate high-dimensional complex data from a low-dimensional easy-to-sample…
