PQMass: Probabilistic Assessment of the Quality of Generative Models using Probability Mass Estimation
Pablo Lemos
Sammy N. Sharief
Nikolay Malkin
We propose a comprehensive sample-based method for assessing the quality of generative models. The proposed approach enables the estimation … (voir plus)of the probability that two sets of samples are drawn from the same distribution, providing a statistically rigorous method for assessing the performance of a single generative model or the comparison of multiple competing models trained on the same dataset. This comparison can be conducted by dividing the space into non-overlapping regions and comparing the number of data samples in each region. The method only requires samples from the generative model and the test data. It is capable of functioning directly on high-dimensional data, obviating the need for dimensionality reduction. Significantly, the proposed method does not depend on assumptions regarding the density of the true distribution, and it does not rely on training or fitting any auxiliary models. Instead, it focuses on approximating the integral of the density (probability mass) across various sub-regions within the data space.

Active learning meets fractal decision boundaries: a cautionary tale from the Sitnikov three-body problem
Nicolas Payot
Mario Pasquato
Alessandro A. Trani
Chaotic systems such as the gravitational N-body problem are ubiquitous in astronomy. Machine learning (ML) is increasingly deployed to pred… (voir plus)ict the evolution of such systems, e.g. with the goal of speeding up simulations. Strategies such as active Learning (AL) are a natural choice to optimize ML training. Here we showcase an AL failure when predicting the stability of the Sitnikov three-body problem, the simplest case of N-body problem displaying chaotic behavior. We link this failure to the fractal nature of our classification problem's decision boundary. This is a potential pitfall in optimizing large sets of N-body simulations via AL in the context of star cluster physics, galactic dynamics, or cosmology.

Score-Based Likelihood Characterization for Inverse Problems in the Presence of Non-Gaussian Noise
Ronan Legin
Alexandre Adam
Likelihood analysis is typically limited to normally distributed noise due to the difficulty of determining the probability density function… (voir plus) of complex, high-dimensional, non-Gaussian, and anisotropic noise. This work presents Score-based LIkelihood Characterization (SLIC), a framework that resolves this issue by building a data-driven noise model using a set of noise realizations from observations. We show that the approach produces unbiased and precise likelihoods even in the presence of highly non-Gaussian correlated and spatially varying noise. We use diffusion generative models to estimate the gradient of the probability density of noise with respect to data elements. In combination with the Jacobian of the physical model of the signal, we use Langevin sampling to produce independent samples from the unbiased likelihood. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the method using real data from the Hubble Space Telescope and James Webb Space Telescope.
