Batch and match: black-box variational inference with a score-based divergence

no code implementations22 Feb 2024 Diana Cai, Chirag Modi, Loucas Pillaud-Vivien, Charles C. Margossian, Robert M. Gower, David M. Blei, Lawrence K. Saul

We analyze the convergence of BaM when the target distribution is Gaussian, and we prove that in the limit of infinite batch size the variational parameter updates converge exponentially quickly to the target mean and covariance.

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.

SimBIG: Field-level Simulation-Based Inference of Galaxy Clustering

no code implementations23 Oct 2023 Pablo Lemos, Liam Parker, ChangHoon Hahn, Shirley Ho, Michael Eickenberg, Jiamin Hou, Elena Massara, Chirag Modi, Azadeh Moradinezhad Dizgah, Bruno Regaldo-Saint Blancard, David Spergel

We demonstrate the robustness of our analysis by showcasing our ability to infer unbiased cosmological constraints from a series of test simulations that are constructed using different forward models than the one used in our training dataset.

Variational Inference with Gaussian Score Matching

2 code implementations NeurIPS 2023 Chirag Modi, Charles Margossian, Yuling Yao, Robert Gower, David Blei, Lawrence Saul

We study how GSM-VI behaves as a function of the problem dimensionality, the condition number of the target covariance matrix (when the target is Gaussian), and the degree of mismatch between the approximating and exact posterior distribution.

Reconstructing the Universe with Variational self-Boosted Sampling

no code implementations28 Jun 2022 Chirag Modi, Yin Li, David Blei

We show that after a short initial warm-up and training phase, VBS generates better quality of samples than simple VI approaches and reduces the correlation length in the sampling phase by a factor of 10-50 over using only HMC to explore the posterior of initial conditions in 64$^3$ and 128$^3$ dimensional problems, with larger gains for high signal-to-noise data observations.

Delayed rejection Hamiltonian Monte Carlo for sampling multiscale distributions

no code implementations1 Oct 2021 Chirag Modi, Alex Barnett, Bob Carpenter

The efficiency of Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) can suffer when sampling a distribution with a wide range of length scales, because the small step sizes needed for stability in high-curvature regions are inefficient elsewhere.

FlowPM: Distributed TensorFlow Implementation of the FastPM Cosmological N-body Solver

2 code implementations22 Oct 2020 Chirag Modi, Francois Lanusse, Uros Seljak

We present FlowPM, a Particle-Mesh (PM) cosmological N-body code implemented in Mesh-TensorFlow for GPU-accelerated, distributed, and differentiable simulations.

Generative Learning of Counterfactual for Synthetic Control Applications in Econometrics

no code implementations16 Oct 2019 Chirag Modi, Uros Seljak

We combine this Gaussian prior with the data likelihood given by the pre-treatment data of the single unit, to obtain the synthetic prediction of the unit post-treatment, which minimizes the error variance of synthetic prediction.

Lensing corrections on galaxy-lensing cross correlations and galaxy-galaxy auto correlations

2 code implementations15 Oct 2019 Vanessa Boehm, Chirag Modi, Emanuele Castorina

We find that the relative size of lensing corrections depends on the respective redshift distributions of the lensing sources and galaxies, but that they are generally small for high signal-to-noise correlations.

Reconstructing large-scale structure with neutral hydrogen surveys

no code implementations4 Jul 2019 Chirag Modi, Martin White, Anze Slosar, Emanuele Castorina

For redshifts $z=2$ and 4, we are able to reconstruct 21cm field with cross correlation, $r_c > 0. 8$ on all scales for both our optimistic and pessimistic assumptions about foreground contamination and for different levels of thermal noise.

Cosmological Reconstruction From Galaxy Light: Neural Network Based Light-Matter Connection

no code implementations6 May 2018 Chirag Modi, Yu Feng, Uros Seljak

Our method relies on following the gradients of forward model and since the standard way to identify halos is non-differentiable and results in a discrete sample of objects, we propose a framework to model the halo position and mass field starting from the non-linear matter field using Neural Networks.
