• Abstract: Upcoming experiments such as Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA) and Square Kilometre Array (SKA) are intended to measure the 21cm signal over a wide range of redshifts, representing an incredible opportunity in advancing our understanding about the nature of cosmic Reionization. At the same time these kind of experiments will present new challenges in processing the extensive amount of data generated, calling for the development of automated methods capable of precisely estimating physical parameters and their uncertainties. In this paper we employ Variational Inference, and in particular Bayesian Neural Networks, as an alternative to MCMC in 21 cm observations to report credible estimations for cosmological and astrophysical parameters and assess the correlations among them.

• Leveraging Global Parameters for Flow-based Neural Posterior Estimation [90.21090932619695]
  Inferring the parameters of a model based on experimental observations is central to the scientific method. A particularly challenging setting is when the model is strongly indeterminate, i.e., when distinct sets of parameters yield identical observations. We present a method for cracking such indeterminacy by exploiting additional information conveyed by an auxiliary set of observations sharing global parameters.
