FREESIA: Covariance-Aware Posterior Transport for Expressive and Scalable Data Assimilation

The paper introduces FREESIA, a training‑free, covariance‑aware posterior transport method for data assimilation that embeds forecast cross‑covariance into a flow‑based transport to recover unobserved states while preserving non‑Gaussian posterior structure. It combines an observation‑adaptive proposal with posterior correction, providing an asymptotically exact approximation of nonlinear posteriors and a Wasserstein error bound. Experiments on Double‑Well, Lorenz‑96, and Kolmogorov flow demonstrate that FREESIA captures complex posterior structures and achieves up to a 56% reduction in RMSE compared to the best baseline in sparse, nonlinear, non‑injective observation scenarios.

Energy-based Transport for Amortized Bayesian Inference

arXiv:2605. 15407v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We consider amortized Bayesian inference for nonlinear inverse problems using only samples from the joint distribution of parameters and observations, including problems with unknown functions in a Banach space.
