  • In this paper, we propose a local squared Wasserstein-2 (W_2) method to solve the inverse problem of reconstructing models with uncertain latent variables or parameters. A key advantage of our approach is that it does not require prior information on the distribution of the latent variables or parameters in the underlying models. Instead, our method can efficiently reconstruct the distributions of the output associated with different inputs based on empirical distributions of observation data. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method across several uncertainty quantification (UQ) tasks, including linear regression with coefficient uncertainty, training neural networks with weight uncertainty, and reconstructing ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with a latent random variable.
