Diffusion-HMC: Parameter Inference with Diffusion Model driven Hamiltonian Monte Carlo
arxiv(2024)
摘要
Diffusion generative models have excelled at diverse image generation and
reconstruction tasks across fields. A less explored avenue is their application
to discriminative tasks involving regression or classification problems. The
cornerstone of modern cosmology is the ability to generate predictions for
observed astrophysical fields from theory and constrain physical models from
observations using these predictions. This work uses a single diffusion
generative model to address these interlinked objectives – as a surrogate
model or emulator for cold dark matter density fields conditional on input
cosmological parameters, and as a parameter inference model that solves the
inverse problem of constraining the cosmological parameters of an input field.
The model is able to emulate fields with summary statistics consistent with
those of the simulated target distribution. We then leverage the approximate
likelihood of the diffusion generative model to derive tight constraints on
cosmology by using the Hamiltonian Monte Carlo method to sample the posterior
on cosmological parameters for a given test image. Finally, we demonstrate that
this parameter inference approach is more robust to the addition of noise than
baseline parameter inference networks.
