Researchers have developed a graph neural network combined with a moment neural network that can estimate cosmological parameters, specifically $\Omega_{\rm m}$, with approximately 10% precision using only galaxy positions and radial velocities. This machine learning model was trained on data from the L-Galaxies semi-analytic model and demonstrated robustness when extrapolated to other semi-analytic models like GAEA and SC-SAM, as well as hydrodynamical simulations such as Astrid and IllustrisTNG. The study indicates that the physical relationships within the phase-space of semi-analytic models are largely independent of specific physical prescriptions, highlighting their utility for generating realistic mock catalogs for cosmological parameter inference.
