Posterior Network

Posterior networks are neural network architectures designed to learn and represent probability distributions, particularly posterior distributions in Bayesian inference. Current research focuses on improving their accuracy and efficiency in various applications, including uncertainty quantification in graph neural networks and image reconstruction, often employing techniques like normalizing flows, energy-based models, and diffusion processes to enhance model expressivity and sampling. These advancements are significant for addressing challenges in high-dimensional data analysis and improving the reliability of predictions in diverse fields such as medical imaging and federated learning, where robust uncertainty estimates are crucial.
