Rapid parameter estimation for merging massive black hole binaries using continuous normalizing flows by Bo Liang, Minghui Du, He Wang, Yuxiang Xu, Chang Liu, Xiaotong Wei, Peng Xu, Li-e Qiang, Ziren Luo

“…Additionally, we creatively introduce a parameter transformation method based on the symmetry in the detector’s response function. This transformation is integrated within CNFs, allowing us to train the model using a simplified dataset, and then perform parameter estimation on more general data, hence also acting as a crucial factor in improving the training speed. …”

“…In this paper, we argue that the heavy reliance on large-scale cluster-randomized controlled trials (CRTs) to generate evidence on epidemiological endpoints restricts the recommendation of approaches to only those interventions that can be measured by functional units and deliver relatively uniform impact and, therefore, are more likely to receive financial support for conducting these trials. …”

Improved multi-objective decision-making in manufacturing processes through uncertainty quantification and robust pareto front modelling by Arne De Temmerman, Mathias Verbeke

“…We investigate the impact of aleatoric uncertainty on multi-objective optimization, demonstrating enhanced Pareto front creation and improved decision-making under non-linear process functions. The methodology is applied to a continuous manufacturing case, where probabilistic surrogate sampling generates a more conservative setpoint. …”
