Researchers have developed a self-consistency (SC) loss to improve the accuracy of amortized Bayesian model comparison (BMC) when simulation models are misspecified. This technique enhances BMC estimators, particularly in open-world scenarios where all candidate models are imperfect. The study evaluated four amortized BMC methods, finding that SC training significantly boosts performance when analytic likelihoods are available or surrogate likelihoods are locally accurate, even with misspecified models.
