Mitigating Representation Gaps in Amortized Bayesian Inference with Auxiliary Supervision

arXiv:2609.39525v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Casting Bayesian inference as a neural network optimization problem targeting an amortized posterior is attractive, as it extends to otherwise intractable statistical models and offers near instantaneous inference for new datasets after prepaying the training cost. Although theory guarantees faithfulness under ideal convergence, practical amortized inference still requires iterating over architectures and optimization choices and ultimately ``sat
