arXiv:2606. 00219v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We are witnessing a surge in observations of the cosmic dawn (CD) and epoch of reionisation (EoR), driving an increasing demand for fast and robust theoretical interpretation frameworks.

Editable 3D scene creation requires object instances and lights that can be inspected, moved, and imported into standard engines, yet existing single-image methods largely stop at room-scale geometry, baked/global illumination, or text-driven generation. We introduce Lumera (Light-aware Unified Engine-native Reconstruction and Assembly), a benchmark and reference pipeline for engine-native, light-aware 3D scene parsing from a single image.
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. 05522v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 3D Gaussian splatting (3DGS) is a strong representation for real-time novel-view synthesis, but its standard training pipeline relies on point estimates and hand-tuned heuristics, providing no native uncertainty or principled complexity control.

arXiv:2606. 00803v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reconstructing the three-dimensional distribution of dark matter from weak-lensing observations is a central but highly ill-posed inverse problem in cosmology.

arXiv:2608. 14112v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scientific simulations often produce scalar volumes faster than they can be stored, transferred, and loaded, while in situ reduction must use only a limited share of simulation resources.

ChannelFlow-Tools is an open‑source, configuration‑driven pipeline that generates machine‑learning‑ready datasets for three‑dimensional obstructed channel flows. It combines procedural obstacle geometry generation across six shape families, signed‑distance‑field voxelisation, lattice‑Boltzmann simulation, and packaging into ML‑ready tensors, all driven by reproducible configuration files. The pipeline is validated through mesh‑integrity audits, SDF representation checks, solver benchmarks, and data‑integrity audits, and it has been used to train surrogate models (3D U‑Net, FNO, U‑FNO) that learn geometry‑to‑flow mappings and exhibit physically interpretable behaviour on out‑of‑distribution splits.

arXiv:2605. 08843v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Neural surrogate models for physical simulations are trained on discretized samples of continuous domains, where the induced empirical measure leads to uneven supervision, biasing optimization and causing spatial inconsistencies in physical fidelity.
