Researchers have developed PnPMass, a novel plug-and-play approach for weak-lensing mass mapping that offers fast inference and uncertainty quantification. This method is designed to process the vast datasets from upcoming astronomical surveys like Euclid and Rubin. PnPMass combines gradient descent with a single, pre-trained deep-learning model for denoising, and employs moment networks with conformal prediction for uncertainty estimation, enabling reliable cosmological parameter inference.
