Factorizable Normalizing Flows for parameter-dependent density morphing

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.

Efficient identification of critical regions via Flow Matching-based Monte Carlo initialization

arXiv:2508. 15318v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a standard tool for studying many-body systems, but its practical cost can become substantial, especially when simulations must be repeated across temperatures and lattice sizes or near transition regions where equilibration becomes increasingly difficult.

Learning Standard Model structure from LHC data with Riemannian flow matching

arXiv:2607. 16144v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this work we demonstrate that a single transformer-based generative model can capture Standard Model structure spanning five decades of invariant mass, from the sub-GeV regime to the TeV continuum, a range that no single Monte Carlo sample covers.
