Description
In this talk I will first show with toy examples how deep learning can find optimal summary statistics to extract the maximum information from cosmological data. I will then show how it can also perform really complex tasks like extracting information from very small, highly non-linear, scales while marginalizing over baryonic effects at the field level. I will also present the major challenges this method needs to overcome to achieve its goals.
