arXiv:2512.22999v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We consider problems of parameter estimation where design variables can be actively optimized to maximize information gain. To this end, we introduce JADAI, a framework that jointly amortizes Bayesian adaptive design and inference by training a policy, a history network, and an inference network end-to-end. The networks minimize a generic loss that aggregates incremental reductions in posterior error along experimental sequences. Inference networks are instantiated with diffusion-based posterior estimators that can approximate high-dime
The continuous advancements in AI and probabilistic modeling are pushing the boundaries of autonomous experimentation design and inference, making this an opportune time for frameworks like JADAI to emerge.
This framework significantly streamlines complex scientific and engineering tasks by automating experimental design and Bayesian inference, accelerating research and development cycles in fields requiring active data acquisition.
Traditional iterative processes of experimental design and subsequent inference can now be jointly optimized and automated, leading to more efficient and information-rich data collection and analysis.
