Surrogate models, such as normalizing flows, are gaining popularity for this task due to their computational efficiency. We adopt an approach based on Flow Annealed importance sampling Bootstrap (FAB) that evaluates the differentiable target density during training and helps avoid the costly generation of training data in advance. We show that FAB reaches higher sampling efficiency with fewer target evaluations in high dimensions in comparison to other methods.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.16234v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2411.16234v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"flow-annealed-importance-sampling-bootstrap-1","repo_url":"https://github.com/annalena-k/FAB-meets-diffME","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"jax","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"computational-efficiency","task_name":"Computational Efficiency"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"adopt","method_name":"ADOPT"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
