Heteroscedastic Neural Surrogate Modeling for Robust and Rapid Bayesian Inference in Fusion Plasma Diagnostics

arXiv:2608. 19377v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Bayesian inference via Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) provides effective parameter estimation, but its real-time application in complex physical systems is hindered by heavy computational bottlenecks and extreme sensitivity to statistical noise.

Dynamic language model representations for multi-objective reaction optimisation

The paper introduces a method that learns dynamic reaction representations directly from textual descriptions using a fine‑tuned language model coupled with Gaussian process surrogates. This approach enables multi‑objective Bayesian optimisation for chemical reactions, achieving faster convergence than traditional descriptor libraries or one‑hot encodings across nickel‑, palladium‑, and iridium‑catalysed systems. Prospective experiments on a palladium‑catalysed cyanation and an asymmetric hydrogenation produced high‑yield, high‑enantiomeric‑excess conditions after only two rounds of high‑throughput testing, translating directly to gram‑scale synthesis.
