BayesNDE: Bayesian Generative Modeling for Neural Density Estimation
Excerpt
arXiv:2609.39843v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Density estimation is a fundamental problem in statistics and machine learning. In this work, we introduce BayesNDE, a neural density estimator based on Bayesian generative modeling. BayesNDE learns a Bayesian generative model and evaluates its density without requiring invertible networks or Jacobian-determinant computation. For each observation, it infers a sample-specific latent posterior to construct an adaptive proposal that focuses computat
