Goal-Oriented Optimal Design of Experiments for Large-Scale Bayesian Linear Inverse Problems

We develop a framework for goal-oriented optimal design of experiments (GOODE) for large-scale Bayesian linear inverse problems governed by PDEs. This framework differs from classical Bayesian optimal design of experiments (ODE) in the following sense: we seek experimental designs that minimize the posterior uncertainty in the experiment end-goal, e.g., a...
