Abstract

In this talk I will share our recent work in developing statistical models based on machine learning methods. In particular, I will discuss posterior sampling in low- and high-dimensional spaces and connect this to two ongoing projects: measuring the small-scale distribution of dark matter and estimating the expansion rate of the Universe. I will discuss how the speed and the accuracy gained by these models are essential for the large volumes of data from the next generation sky surveys. I will finish by mentioning a few other projects and a new initiative for interdisciplinary collaboration in astrophysics and data sciences.
