Abstract: Randomize-then-optimize (RTO) is widely used for sampling from posterior distributions in Bayesian inverse problems. However, RTO may be computationally intensive for complexity problems due to repetitive evaluations of the expensive forward model and its gradient. In this work, we present a novel strategy to substantially reduce the computation burden of RTO by using a goal-oriented deep neural networks (DNN) surrogate approach. In particular, the training points for the DNN-surrogate are drawn from a local approximated posterior distribution, and it is shown that the resulting algorithm can provide a flexible and efficient sampling algorithm, which converges to the direct RTO approach. We present a Bayesian inverse problem governed by a benchmark elliptic PDE to demonstrate the computational accuracy and efficiency of our new algorithm (i.e., DNN-RTO). It is shown that with our algorithm, one can significantly outperform the traditional RTO.
