Density split in a SDSS BOSS
CMASS 0.46 < z < 0.6
Galaxy-Halo connection
Main Assumptions
- Galaxies don't impact dark matter clustering
- Number of galaxies depends on halo mass only
Extensions: Get creative!
But these extensions might limit our constraining power
a) Use hydro simulations to limit options
b) Mask the data to optimise robustness?
Velocity bias
Assembly bias

Neural Network emulator
Implicit likelihood inference with normalising flows
No assumptions on the likelihood (likelihoods rarely Gaussian!)
No expensive MCMC chains needed to estimate posterior

Output
Increased interpretability through structured inputs
Modelling cross-correlations
What ML can do for cosmology
- ML to accelerate non-linear predictions and density estimation
- Can ML extract **all** the information that there is at the field-level in the non-linear regime?
- Compare data and simulations, point us to the missing pieces?
