arXiv:2509.23385v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Simulation-based inference (SBI) is transforming experimental sciences by enabling parameter estimation in complex non-linear models from simulated data. A persistent challenge, however, is model misspecification. In a Bayesian setting, targeting posterior distributions, errors may arise from the simulator, the noise or prior modelling. These model components are only approximations of reality, and severe mismatches can yield biased or overconfident posteriors. We address this issue by introducing Flow Matching Corrected Posterior Estim
The increasing complexity and application of AI models demand more robust and reliable inference methods, especially as these models move from research to critical real-world applications.
Improving the accuracy and reliability of simulation-based inference under model misspecification is crucial for advancing AI's practical utility across scientific, engineering, and commercial domains, reducing risks of biased or overconfident predictions.
This research introduces a method to correct biases in AI models resulting from imperfect simulations, leading to more trustworthy and generalizable AI applications. It enhances the reliability of using simulated data for real-world predictions.
