Invertible Neural Networks versus MCMC for Posterior Reconstruction in Grazing Incidence X-Ray Fluorescence

Anna Andrle, Nando Farchmin, Paul Hagemann, Sebastian Heidenreich, Victor Soltwisch, Gabriele Steidl

Grazing incidence X-ray fluorescence is a non-destructive technique for analyzing the geometry and compositional parameters of nanostructures appearing e.g. in computer chips. In this paper, we propose to reconstruct the posterior parameter distribution given a noisy measurement generated by the forward model by an appropriately learned invertible neural network. This network resembles the transport map from a reference distribution to the posterior. We demonstrate by numerical comparisons that our method can compete with established Markov Chain Monte Carlo approaches, while being more efficient and flexible in applications.
