Cosmology research slashes simulation costs with multifidelity inference

Researchers have developed a novel method for field-level weak lensing cosmology that significantly reduces the computational cost of simulations. By employing multifidelity simulation-based inference, they pre-train models on faster, less accurate simulations and then fine-tune them on a small set of high-fidelity $N$-body simulations. This approach allows for accurate cosmological inference using fewer than 100 high-fidelity simulations, an order-of-magnitude reduction in cost compared to traditional methods. AI

IMPACT This research demonstrates a method to reduce computational costs for complex simulations, potentially enabling more efficient AI-driven scientific discovery.

    Field-level weak lensing cosmology with $<100$ simulations using multifidelity simulation-based inference

    We perform a realistic KiDS-Legacy mock analysis with field-level neural compression and simulation-based inference using fewer than 100 $N$-body simulations. The weak lensing shear field encodes substantially more cosmological information than standard two-point summary statisti…
