Practical applications of machine-learned flows on gauge fields
Normalizing flows are machine-learned maps between different lattice theories which can be used as components in exact sampling and inference schemes. Ongoing work yields increasingly expressive flows on gauge fields, but it remains an open question how flows can improve lattice QCD at state-of-the-art scales. We discuss and demonstrate two applications of flows in replica exchange (parallel tempering) sampling, aimed at improving topological mixing, which are viable with iterative improvements upon presently available flows.

Applications of flow models to the generation of correlated lattice QCD ensembles
Machine-learned normalizing flows can be used in the context of lattice quantum field theory to generate statistically correlated ensembles of lattice gauge fields at different action parameters. This work demonstrates h…
Machine learning for four-dimensional SU(3) lattice gauge theories
In this review I summarize how machine learning can be used in lattice gauge theory simulations and what ap\-proaches are currently available to improve the sampling of gauge field configurations, with a focus on applica…
Normalizing flows for lattice gauge theory in arbitrary space-time dimension
Applications of normalizing flows to the sampling of field configurations in lattice gauge theory have so far been explored almost exclusively in two space-time dimensions. We report new algorithmic developments of gauge…
Learning the generating functional for variance reduction in lattice QCD
The generating functional in quantum field theory provides the natural framework for constructing correlation functions as derivatives with respect to source operators. We present a methodology that leverages machine-lea…
Equivariant Manifold Flows
Tractably modelling distributions over manifolds has long been an important goal in the natural sciences. Recent work has focused on developing general machine learning models to learn such distributions. Though these ar…
