arXiv:2510. 17459v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this work, we propose a flow-matching Markov chain Monte Carlo (FM-MCMC) algorithm for estimating the orbital parameters of exoplanetary systems, especially for those only one exoplanet is involved.
The paper demonstrates that a self‑supervised Vision Transformer (ViT) pretrained on a fast, low‑cost semi‑numerical simulator can produce data summaries that transfer across different simulators without retraining. In 21cm cosmology, the ViT—named SKATR—pretrained on 67,000 21cmFAST lightcones is applied unchanged to hydrodynamical Loreli II lightcones, enabling accurate inference of five astrophysical parameters with fewer radiative‑transfer simulations than a fully‑supervised baseline. SKATR remains accurate, informative, and calibrated even under realistic SKA antenna array noise, outperforming supervised models retrained on noisy data.

arXiv:2607. 03904v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) provide a unique window into nanohertz gravitational waves (GWs), but extracting astrophysical parameters from noisy, long-baseline timing residuals remains computationally challenging with traditional Bayesian techniques due to the high dimensionality of the parameter space, complex and correlated noise models, and the cost of repeated likelihood evaluations.

The paper introduces a conditional diffusion model that learns to map raw semi‑inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) event kinematics directly to transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMD PDFs), eliminating the need for explicit functional forms. On simulated CLAS12 data, the model accurately recovers the underlying TMD and provides informative uncertainties that improve with larger event samples, even when only about 1,000 events are available.

The paper introduces NS‑Flows, a flow‑based nested sampling method that replaces Markov‑chain updates with a conditional normalizing flow trained on live sets. By applying this technique to a Lennard‑Jones particle system, the authors achieve over two orders of magnitude fewer energy evaluations and a roughly one‑third reduction in wall‑clock time compared to traditional nested sampling. The study also shows that the flow’s generation efficiency varies non‑monotonically along the annealing trajectory, providing a diagnostic of the system’s internal mode complexity and identifying liquid‑like ensembles as the most challenging for current flow architectures.
arXiv:2606. 30489v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Normalizing Flows excel at modeling a single fixed density, yet many problems across the sciences, such as high energy physics, instead require modeling how that density deforms as a function of continuous parameters: the strength of a physical effect, a calibration constant, or a source of systematic uncertainty.
