	abstract = {Geological carbon storage represents one of the few truly scalable technologies capable of reducing the CO$_2$ concentration in the atmosphere. While this technology has the potential to scale, its success hinges on our ability to mitigate its risks. An important aspect of risk mitigation concerns assurances that the injected CO$_2$ remains within the storage complex. Amongst the different monitoring modalities, seismic imaging stands out with its ability to attain high resolution and high fidelity images. However, these superior features come, unfortunately, at prohibitive costs and time-intensive efforts potentially rendering extensive seismic monitoring undesirable. To overcome this shortcoming, we present a methodology where time-lapse images are created by inverting non-replicated time-lapse monitoring data jointly. By no longer insisting on replication of the surveys to obtain high fidelity time-lapse images and differences, extreme costs and time-consuming labor are averted. To demonstrate our approach, hundreds of noisy time-lapse seismic datasets are simulated that contain imprints of regular CO$_2$ plumes and irregular plumes that leak. These time-lapse datasets are subsequently inverted to produce time-lapse difference images used to train a deep neural classifier. The testing results show that the classifier is capable of detecting CO$_2$ leakage automatically on unseen data and with a reasonable accuracy.},

	abstract = {With the growing global deployment of carbon capture and sequestration technology to combat climate change, monitoring and detection of potential CO$_2$ leakage through existing or storage induced faults are critical to the safe and long-term viability of the technology. Recent work on time-lapse seismic monitoring of CO$_2$ storage has shown promising results in its ability to monitor the growth of the CO$_2$ plume from surface recorded seismic data. However, due to the low sensitivity of seismic imaging to CO$_2$ concentration, additional developments are required to efficiently interpret the seismic images for leakage. In this work, we introduce a binary classification of time-lapse seismic images to delineate CO$_2$ plumes (leakage) using state-of-the-art deep learning models. Additionally, we localize the leakage region of CO$_2$ plumes by leveraging Class Activation Mapping (CAM) methods.},

	abstract = {High dimensionality, complex physics, and lack of access to the ground truth make seismic imaging one of the most challenging inversion problems in the computational imaging sciences. If these challenges were not bad enough, modern applications of computational imaging increasingly call for the assessment of uncertainty on the image itself and on subsequent tasks conducted on these images. By making use of a Markov-chain Monte Carlo (McMC) sampling technique, we demonstrate how uncertainty in the data can be propagated to the task of seismic horizon tracking. While this example shows that uncertainty can in principle be handled in a systematic manner by using neural nets as deep priors, it unfortunately also reveals that the McMC method fundamentally lacks ability to scale to relevant problem sizes. To overcome this shortcoming, we introduce a variational formulation based on normalizing flows. In this approach, invertible neural networks are trained to generate samples from the posterior. There are strong indications that this approach has the capability to scale better to problems where the forward operator is expensive to evaluate.},

	abstract = {The posterior probability distribution provides a comprehensive description of the solution in ill-posed inverse problems. Sampling from the posterior distribution in the context of seismic imaging is challenged by the high-dimensionality of the unknown and the expensive-to-evaluate forward operator. These challenges limit the applicability of Markov Chain sampling methods due to the costs associated with the forward operator. Moreover, explicitly choosing a prior distribution that captures the true heterogeneity exhibited by the Earth{\textquoteright}s subsurface further complicates casting seismic imaging into a Bayesian framework. To handle this situation and to assess uncertainty, we propose a data-driven variational inference approach based on conditional normalizing flows (NFs). The proposed scheme leverages existing data, which are in the form of low- and high-fidelity migrated image pairs, to train a conditional NF capable of characterizing the posterior distribution. After training, the NF can be used to sample from the posterior distribution associated with a previously unseen seismic survey, which is in some sense close, e.g., data from a neighboring survey area. In our numerical example, we obtain high-fidelity images from the Parihaka dataset and low-fidelity images are derived from these images through the process of demigration, followed by adding band-limited noise and migration. During inference, given shot records from a new neighboring seismic survey, we first compute the reverse-time migration image. Next, by feeding this low-fidelity migrated image to the NF we gain access to samples from the posterior distribution virtually for free. We use these samples to compute a high-fidelity image including a first assessment of the image{\textquoteright}s reliability.},

During this talk, I will show how recent developments in Normalizing Flows, a new type of invertible neural networks, can be used to cast wave-based imaging into a scalable Bayesian framework. Contrary to conventional methods, where sample images are drawn from the posterior distribution during inversion, our approach trains Normalizing Flows capable of generating samples from the posterior. Aside from greatly reducing the computational cost, this approach gives us access to the image itself (via Maximum a posteriori or mean estimation) and its multidimensional statistical distribution including its pointwise variance.},

	abstract = {We introduce a scalable Bayesian inference approach that combines techniques from deep learning with a physic-based variational inference formulation. Bayesian inference for ill-posed inverse problems is challenged by the high-dimensionality of the unknown, computationally expensive forward operator, and choosing a prior distribution that accurately encodes prior knowledge on the unknown. To handle this situation and to assess uncertainty, we propose to approximate the posterior distribution using a pretrained conditional normalizing flow, which is trained on existing low- and high-fidelity estimations of the unknown. To further improve the accuracy of this approximation, we use transfer learning and finetune this normalizing flow by minimizing the Kullback-Leibler divergence between the predicted and the desired high-fidelity posterior density. This amounts to minimizing a physic-based variational inference objective with respect to the network weights, which we believe might scale better than Bayesian inference with Markov Chain sampling methods. We apply the proposed Bayesian inference approach to seismic imaging where we use quasi-real data obtained from the Parihaka dataset.},

Medical imaging, on the other hand, opens the possibility for new imaging modalities where outside stimuli, such as laser or radar pulses, can not only be used to identify endogenous optical or thermal contrasts but that these sources can also be used to insonify the medium so that images of the whole specimen can in principle be created.},
