弱引力透镜通过前景结构对背景星系形状的关联扭曲,成为探测宇宙物质分布的强大工具,可实现对宇宙学模型的精确约束。近年来,高阶统计与机器学习技术被用于提取传统两点分析之外的非线性信息。然而,这些方法通常依赖宇宙学模拟,面临多重挑战:模拟计算成本高,导致大多数真实场景中训练数据有限;模拟中系统误差建模不准确引发分布偏移,可能造成宇宙参数估计偏差;不同研究间模拟设置差异大,难以进行方法对比。为此,我们发布了首个包含多种真实系统误差的弱引力透镜基准数据集,并启动FAIR Universe弱引力透镜机器学习不确定性挑战赛。该挑战聚焦于在训练数据受限且存在分布偏移条件下,从弱引力透镜数据中测量宇宙基本属性,同时提供标准化基准以实现方法间的严格比较。挑战分为两个阶段,旨在汇聚物理与机器学习领域力量,推进处理系统不确定性、数据效率与分布偏移的方法发展,最终推动机器学习方法在下一代弱引力透镜巡天分析中的落地应用。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Weak gravitational lensing, the correlated distortion of background galaxy shapes by foreground structures, is a powerful probe of the matter distribution in our universe and allows accurate constraints on the cosmological model. In recent years, high-order statistics and machine learning (ML) techniques have been applied to weak lensing data to extract the nonlinear information beyond traditional two-point analysis. However, these methods typically rely on cosmological simulations, which poses several challenges: simulations are computationally expensive, limiting most realistic setups to a low training data regime; inaccurate modeling of systematics in the simulations create distribution shifts that can bias cosmological parameter constraints; and varying simulation setups across studies make method comparison difficult. To address these difficulties, we present the first weak lensing benchmark dataset with several realistic systematics and launch the FAIR Universe Weak Lensing Machine Learning Uncertainty Challenge. The challenge focuses on measuring the fundamental properties of the universe from weak lensing data with limited training set and potential distribution shifts, while providing a standardized benchmark for rigorous comparison across methods. Organized in two phases, the challenge will bring together the physics and ML communities to advance the methodologies for handling systematic uncertainties, data efficiency, and distribution shifts in weak lensing analysis with ML, ultimately facilitating the deployment of ML approaches into upcoming weak lensing survey analysis.
