Real-Time Likelihood-Free Inference of Roman Binary Microlensing Events with Amortized Neural Posterior Estimation

no code implementations10 Feb 2021 Keming Zhang, Joshua S. Bloom, B. Scott Gaudi, Francois Lanusse, Casey Lam, Jessica R. Lu

Fast and automated inference of binary-lens, single-source (2L1S) microlensing events with sampling-based Bayesian algorithms (e. g., Markov Chain Monte Carlo; MCMC) is challenged on two fronts: high computational cost of likelihood evaluations with microlensing simulation codes, and a pathological parameter space where the negative-log-likelihood surface can contain a multitude of local minima that are narrow and deep.

Automating Inference of Binary Microlensing Events with Neural Density Estimation

no code implementations8 Oct 2020 Keming Zhang, Joshua S. Bloom, B. Scott Gaudi, Francois Lanusse, Casey Lam, Jessica Lu

Automated inference of binary microlensing events with traditional sampling-based algorithms such as MCMC has been hampered by the slowness of the physical forward model and the pathological likelihood surface.
