RCLW03 - Accelerating statistical inference and experimental design with machine learning

Bayesian experimental design (BED) provides a powerful and principled information-theoretic framework for optimising the design of experiments. In this tutorial, we will introduce the core principles underlying BED before discussing computational methods essential for practical implementation, with a particular focus on modern approximation techniques such as (amortised) variational inference. Finally, will cover the policy-based BED (PB-BED), which enables efficient online deployment of the BED pipeline by learning adaptive design strategies through offline training.
