What does this implement/fix? Explain your changes

This introduces some additional features for score estimation named in #1226, namely:

  • allow enable_transform = True for score-based potentials
  • implement MAP calculation for score-based posteriors
  • Implements rejection sampling for score-based posteriors to ensure prior coverage
  • Allow batched sampling for score-based posteriors
  • Allow IID observations for score-based posteriors (@manuelgloeckler has started working on this - let's discuss what's missing and merge our branches)
  • implements custom converged() method for NPSE

Does this close any currently open issues?

#1226

Any relevant code examples, logs, error output, etc?

Any other comments?

  • Currently, calling score_based_posterior.map() is still quite slow. We get the gradient of the log probs with respect to theta by using the score estimator, but still computing the log-probs explicitly in gradient_ascent, which is more expensive. To get around this, we save a low-accuracy ode_flow to calculate the log-probs more quickly. Ideally, we might want to write a custom gradient_ascent function for calculating the MAP for score estimators to avoid doing this altogether.
  • I increased the tolerance of the test in linearGaussian_npse_test.py::test_npse_map - as far as I can tell, the reason this failed with the lower tolerance is not because of MAP calculation, but because score-based posteriors are currently slightly less accurate (at least for our test tasks).

I've requested review now. While batched sampling for score-based posteriors is now possible and tested for, IID sampling is still not possible, but talking to @manuelgloeckler about this, maybe this can be done in a new PR. Other than that, I've also noticed while testing that sampling from the posterior with ode can be much less accurate than via diffusion. So the test linear_Gaussian_npse_test::test_c2st_npse_on_linearGaussian can sometimes fail with sample_with="ode", but this is independent of any of the changes made in this PR.

I started integrating the IID stuff into the current version of this branch and created a new PR for it (#1381). So, lets first get this merged the IID PR still requires some work from my side.

Great! Thanks a lot for addressing all these issues with the current NPSE. 🚀

I left a couple of suggestions and questions for my understanding. Happy to discuss in person if needed.

We are in the sample function, as opposed to sample_batched. When x has a batch size of 1, the x_is_iid currently has no effect. Specifying this flag here makes sure that if x has batch_size >1, the potential raises an error that IID sampling is not yet implemented, as opposed to trying to sample on a batch of conditions (in which case, the user should call posterior.sample_batched instead)

I changed the sampling shape in Diffuser, see

init_shape = (num_samples, num_batch) + self.input_shape

I did not see a good reason why the sample and batch dimensions were treated differently there, so this was changed to match our usual shape conventions, and so we don't need to do this additional reshaping here.

Hmmm, I think that this is a leftover, so it indeed should be removed.I will also remove the dependence on x from _sample_with_zuko as it should also use the default x.

No, learning_rate = 0.01 was what we use in all the other posterior.map() methods, I am guessing 1e-5 was a leftover from some previous debugging attempts. There is no reason to have it so drastically different for score posteriors as far as I can tell.

best model. We noticed that this improves performance. Deleting this method
will make C2ST tests fail. This is because the loss is very stochastic, so
resetting might reset to an underfitted model. Ideally, we would write a
custom `._converged()` method which checks whether the loss is still going
down **for all t**.

As far as I can tell, the former just matches our normal shape conventions, where as the (now commented out) version does not. But if there is some reason to keep the lines that are now commented out, we can revert this. @manuelgloeckler do you have any thoughts on this?

I am not sure. I ran this test in a notebook to see why it was failing with atol=0.2, and saw that the MAP of the approximate posterior was estimated correctly (by looking at it on the pairplot of samples from the approximate posterior), but the posterior itself we estimated was a bit off - I guess not enough to fail our posterior tests, but enough to shift the MAP enough for this test to fail with atol=0.2.
