Program Synthesis for Simulation-Based Inference: Joint Model Selection and Parameter Estimation
Siddharth Mishra-Sharma
Neural simulation-based inference enables parameter estimation for complex models, but typically requires the user to specify a simulator encoding a fixed model structure. We prese…
A Scientific Human-Agent Reproduction Pipeline
Joschka Birk, Gregor Kasieczka, Siddharth Mishra-Sharma +3
Reproducing scientific analyses is essential for preserving knowledge, building extensible codebases, and deepening researcher understanding - yet the effort often outweighs its ac…
Deep Learning for Astrophysics: An Open Textbook from the NASA Cosmic Origins AI/ML Science and Technology Interest Group
Yuan-Sen Ting, Digvijay Wadekar, Phill Cargile +21
Recent community assessments identify education as a principal barrier to adopting modern machine learning in astronomy. We present Deep Learning for Astrophysics, a freely availab…
High-dimensional inference for the -ray sky with differentiable programming
Siddharth Mishra-Sharma, Tracy R. Slatyer, Yitian Sun +1
We motivate the use of differentiable probabilistic programming techniques in order to account for the large model-space inherent to astrophysical -ray analyses. Targeting the…
DiscoverPhysics: Benchmarking LLMs for Out-of-the-Box Scientific Thinking
Matt L. Wiemann, Lindsay M. Smith, Peter Melchior +4
Frontier LLMs now perform strongly across a wide range of physics evaluations, but it is hard to disentangle genuine reasoning from recall of established science. We introduce Disc…
Collider-Bench: Benchmarking AI Agents with Particle Physics Analysis Reproduction
Darius A. Faroughy, Sofia Palacios Schweitzer, Ian Pang +2
Autonomous language-model agents are increasingly evaluated on long-horizon tool-use tasks, but existing benchmarks rarely capture the complexity and nuance of real scientific work…
