abstract
Autoregressive models are among the best performing neural density estimators. We describe an approach for increasing the flexibility of an autoregressive model, based on modelling the random numbers that the model uses internally when generating data. By constructing a stack of autoregressive models, each modelling the random numbers of the next model in the stack, we obtain a type of normalizing flow suitable for density estimation, which we call Masked Autoregressive Flow. This type of flow is closely related to Inverse Autoregressive Flow and is a generalization of Real NVP. Masked Autoregressive Flow achieves state-of-the-art performance in a range of general-purpose density estimation tasks.

Conditional MAFs interpolate QCD chiral phase structure across coupling, mass, and volume, reproducing reweighting while cutting required ensembles despite bias near transitions.
Rescaling merger trees with a halo-profile correction enables cheap generation of galaxy summary statistics across cosmologies using semi-analytic models, matching dedicated simulation accuracy with far fewer base runs.
GenSBI delivers JAX-native implementations of generative SBI methods with transformer backbones and reports near-ideal calibration scores on standard benchmarks.
Neural spline flows perform fast posterior inference on 11-dimensional millilensed GW parameters with accuracy comparable to dynesty for most quantities and a 3-day to 0.8-second speedup.
iTARFlow augments normalizing flows with diffusion-style iterative denoising during sampling while preserving end-to-end likelihood training, reaching competitive results on ImageNet 64/128/256.
DSEE is a flow-based emulator that generates stellar evolution tracks and isochrones as probabilistic outputs from a single model trained on millions of simulations, enabling fast interpolation and uncertainty-aware analyses.
EMCEE outperforms GP and MAF in recovering true H0 from mock cosmic chronometer datasets, with GP most sensitive to data points via delete-d jackknife analysis.
AI techniques for photometric redshift estimation have converged and are now limited by the size, systematics, and selection effects in spectroscopic training samples rather than by methodology.
