	abstract = {Seismic data go through a sequence of pre-processing steps before being made into an image. Although some work has been done to assess the uncertainties in the final images, how the uncertainty in the pre-processing affects the results remains largely unexplored. We use Normalizing Flows (NF), a type of deep neural network, to interpolate seismic data and quantify the associated uncertainty. A big advantage of NFs, over the more commonly used Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods, is that they can successfully sample a complex and high-dimensional probability space with fewer assumptions. We present the first application of NF in interpolating (synthetic) seismic data. The statistical measurements retrieved from the network can be used to better characterize the data as it is passed to the post-processing phase.},

	abstract = {Photoacoustic imaging is a biomedical imaging technique based on the photoacoustic effect. It leverages the interplay between optics and acoustics as a mean to circumvent the limitations of imaging modalities relying on single-type physics. Light beams generated by a pulsed laser can penetrate biological tissues by several centimeters, and are absorbed based on oxygen saturation or hemoglobin concentration. While optical absorption is in principle an ideal parameter for medical imaging (e.g., with respect to the detection of cancerous tissue), strong scattering imposes important limitations in its imaging resolution. Ultrasonics, on the other hand, can theoretically provide resolution of medical diagnostic value, but produce images of mechanical properties whose contrasts are not sensitive. In photoacoustics, optical and acoustic effects are combined to gain the best of both worlds. Under conditions of thermal and stress confinement, thermal energy can efficiently build up in biological tissues, which in turn undergo thermal expansion and effectively act as a spatially distributed acoustic source. In photoacoustic imaging, the actual object of interest is the induced source, as it is directly related to optical absorption and can be recovered with a relatively higher resolution than pure optical imaging, based on the acquired ultrasonic data.},

	title = {Variational inference for artifact removal of adjoint solutions in photoacoustic problems},
	year = {2021},
	month = {11},
	abstract = {Photoacoustic is a medical imaging modality which combines light and ultrasound waves to image internal structures of biological tissue. The inverse problem reconstructs the tissue initially excited by light given propagated ultrasound data at receivers outside the tissue. Due to noisy, limited-view and sparse receiver data, traditional time-reversal adjoint solutions are highly ill-posed. This necessitates uncertainty quantification to communicate to practitioners which areas of the image can be trusted. We propose a framework which leverages a machine learning based method (Conditional Normalizing Flows) to learn the full posterior distribution of viable solutions given the time-reversal adjoint solution. We show that areas of calculated uncertainty correlate with structures that are known to be difficult to image. In addition, we also propose a MAP based solution, which solves the variational least-squares problem while using the trained Conditional Normalizing Flow as a prior distribution.},
