Diffusion-HMC: Parameter Inference with Diffusion Model driven Hamiltonian Monte Carlo

1 code implementation8 May 2024 Nayantara Mudur, Carolina Cuesta-Lazaro, Douglas P. Finkbeiner

This work uses a single diffusion generative model to address these interlinked objectives -- as a surrogate model or emulator for cold dark matter density fields conditional on input cosmological parameters, and as a parameter inference model that solves the inverse problem of constraining the cosmological parameters of an input field.

Cosmological Field Emulation and Parameter Inference with Diffusion Models

no code implementations12 Dec 2023 Nayantara Mudur, Carolina Cuesta-Lazaro, Douglas P. Finkbeiner

Cosmological simulations play a crucial role in elucidating the effect of physical parameters on the statistics of fields and on constraining parameters given information on density fields.

Can denoising diffusion probabilistic models generate realistic astrophysical fields?

1 code implementation22 Nov 2022 Nayantara Mudur, Douglas P. Finkbeiner

In this work we investigate the ability of these models to generate fields in two astrophysical contexts: dark matter mass density fields from cosmological simulations and images of interstellar dust.

Equivariant Wavelets: Fast Rotation and Translation Invariant Wavelet Scattering Transforms

1 code implementation22 Apr 2021 Andrew K. Saydjari, Douglas P. Finkbeiner

Wavelet scattering networks, which are convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with fixed filters and weights, are promising tools for image analysis.

On Galactic density modeling in the presence of dust extinction

3 code implementations22 Sep 2015 Jo Bovy, Hans-Walter Rix, Gregory M. Green, Edward F. Schlafly, Douglas P. Finkbeiner

This formalism demonstrates that the spatially-complex effect of extinction on the selection function of a pencil-beam or contiguous sky survey is equivalent to a low-pass filtering of the extinction-affected selection function with the smooth density field.
