Interpretable Neural Marked Statistics for Cosmological Inference

arXiv:2606.11295v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recovering cosmological information beyond the power spectrum is a central goal for upcoming cosmological surveys, since late-time non-Gaussian signal in the matter density cannot be accessed through two-point statistics alone. Marked statistics fold part of this information back into the two-point level by reweighting the field with non-linear functions. We propose a neural marking scheme to generalize this process through a set of interpretable, physically motivated transformations that directly allow to interpret the gain in cosmological inf

Why this matters
Why now

The continuous advancements in AI, particularly in neural network architectures, enable more sophisticated analyses of complex scientific data, such as cosmological surveys.

Why it’s important

This development allows for improved extraction of cosmological information from survey data, potentially leading to a deeper understanding of the universe's structure and evolution.

What changes

Scientists can now use interpretable neural networks to analyze cosmological data more effectively, moving beyond traditional two-point statistics to capture non-Gaussian signals.
