Can we run larger simulations? (DESI volumes)

At high resolution?

Faster?

All this works depends on simulations, but...

Thousands of them?

Conclusions

1. There is a lot of information in galaxy surveys that ML methods can access

2. We can tackle high dimensional inference problems so far unatainable

3. Our ability to simulate will limit the amount of information we can extract

Hybrid simulators, forward models, robustness
