Spectra: Exact Component Transport for Test-Time Prior Adaptation in Simulation-Based Inference
Simulation-based inference (SBI) has become a powerful approach to Bayesian inference in complex scientific models whose likelihoods are difficult or impossible to evaluate. Amortized SBI learns reusable inference models from simulated data, enabling rapid posterior inference for new observations, and modern generative models have made these models increasingly expressive. However, this reuse is limited to the prior distribution chosen during training, whereas scientific analyses often need revised priors as knowledge accumulates or alternative assumptions are tested. We introduce Spectra, a test-time adaptation method for diffusion-based SBI. Spectra uses an exact score-transport identit...
