LtU-ILI: An All-in-One Framework for Implicit Inference in Astrophysics and Cosmology

1 code implementation6 Feb 2024 Matthew Ho, Deaglan J. Bartlett, Nicolas Chartier, Carolina Cuesta-Lazaro, Simon Ding, Axel Lapel, Pablo Lemos, Christopher C. Lovell, T. Lucas Makinen, Chirag Modi, Viraj Pandya, Shivam Pandey, Lucia A. Perez, Benjamin Wandelt, Greg L. Bryan

This paper presents the Learning the Universe Implicit Likelihood Inference (LtU-ILI) pipeline, a codebase for rapid, user-friendly, and cutting-edge machine learning (ML) inference in astrophysics and cosmology.

Optimal simulation-based Bayesian decisions

no code implementations9 Nov 2023 Justin Alsing, Thomas D. P. Edwards, Benjamin Wandelt

We present a framework for the efficient computation of optimal Bayesian decisions under intractable likelihoods, by learning a surrogate model for the expected utility (or its distribution) as a function of the action and data spaces.

Information-Ordered Bottlenecks for Adaptive Semantic Compression

no code implementations18 May 2023 Matthew Ho, Xiaosheng Zhao, Benjamin Wandelt

We present the information-ordered bottleneck (IOB), a neural layer designed to adaptively compress data into latent variables ordered by likelihood maximization.

Robust marginalization of baryonic effects for cosmological inference at the field level

no code implementations21 Sep 2021 Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Shy Genel, Daniel Angles-Alcazar, David N. Spergel, Yin Li, Benjamin Wandelt, Leander Thiele, Andrina Nicola, Jose Manuel Zorrilla Matilla, Helen Shao, Sultan Hassan, Desika Narayanan, Romeel Dave, Mark Vogelsberger

We train neural networks to perform likelihood-free inference from $(25\, h^{-1}{\rm Mpc})^2$ 2D maps containing the total mass surface density from thousands of hydrodynamic simulations of the CAMELS project.

Multifield Cosmology with Artificial Intelligence

no code implementations20 Sep 2021 Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar, Shy Genel, David N. Spergel, Yin Li, Benjamin Wandelt, Andrina Nicola, Leander Thiele, Sultan Hassan, Jose Manuel Zorrilla Matilla, Desika Narayanan, Romeel Dave, Mark Vogelsberger

Although our maps only cover a small area of $(25~h^{-1}{\rm Mpc})^2$, and the different fields are contaminated by astrophysical effects in very different ways, our networks can infer the values of $\Omega_{\rm m}$ and $\sigma_8$ with a few percent level precision for most of the fields.

The Quijote simulations

Kreisch, Andrina Nicola, Roman Scoccimarro, Licia Verde, Matteo Viel, Shirley Ho, Stephane Mallat, Benjamin Wandelt, David N. Spergel

The Quijote simulations are a set of 44, 100 full N-body simulations spanning more than 7, 000 cosmological models in the $\{\Omega_{\rm m}, \Omega_{\rm b}, h, n_s, \sigma_8, M_\nu, w \}$ hyperplane.

Nuisance hardened data compression for fast likelihood-free inference

2 code implementations4 Mar 2019 Justin Alsing, Benjamin Wandelt

This means that the nuisance marginalized inference task involves learning $n$ interesting parameters from $n$ "nuisance hardened" data summaries, regardless of the presence or number of additional nuisance parameters to be marginalized over.

Fast likelihood-free cosmology with neural density estimators and active learning

7 code implementations28 Feb 2019 Justin Alsing, Tom Charnock, Stephen Feeney, Benjamin Wandelt

Likelihood-free inference provides a framework for performing rigorous Bayesian inference using only forward simulations, properly accounting for all physical and observational effects that can be successfully included in the simulations.

Statistical properties of paired fixed fields

1 code implementation5 Jun 2018 Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Sigurd Naess, Shy Genel, Andrew Pontzen, Benjamin Wandelt, Lauren Anderson, Andreu Font-Ribera, Nicholas Battaglia, David N. Spergel

We quantify the statistical improvement brought by these simulations, over standard ones, on different power spectra such as matter, halos, CDM, gas, stars, black-holes and magnetic fields, finding that they can reduce their variance by factors as large as $10^6$.

Massive optimal data compression and density estimation for scalable, likelihood-free inference in cosmology

1 code implementation4 Jan 2018 Justin Alsing, Benjamin Wandelt, Stephen Feeney

Secondly, we present the first cosmological application of Density Estimation Likelihood-Free Inference (\textsc{delfi}), which learns a parameterized model for joint distribution of data and parameters, yielding both the parameter posterior and the model evidence.
