Simulation-based inference for cosmology

Low riskExact public inventory row

Description

This project will develop and use simulation-based inference to estimate cosmological parameters related to cosmic acceleration in the early and late universe — via the cosmic microwave background and strong gravitational lensing, respectively. This

Detailed example

prediction of numerical values of cosmology

AI / analytics pattern

Classical/Predictive Machine Learning: Models trained on data to make predictions or classifications based on identified patterns or relationships.

Automation level / stage

a) Pre-deployment – The use case is in a development or acquisition status.

Expected benefit

DOE ECA award. apply SBI to strong lensing and cmb to infer cosmological parameters
