1. There is a lot of information in large scale structure surveys that ML methods can access

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

3. Theoretical uncertainties are limiting the amount of information we can robustly extract

Data-driven theory

Hybrid simulators, robustness, representation learning

Mapping dark matter, constrained simulations... Let's get creative!
