BRICKS: Compositional Neural Markov Kernels for Zero-Shot Radiation-Matter Simulation

We introduce a new strategy for compositional neural surrogates for radiation-matter interactions, a key task spanning domains from particle physics through nuclear and space engineering to medical physics. Exploiting the locality and the Markov nature of particle interactions, we create a \emph{next-particle prediction} kernel using hybrid discrete-continuous transformer models based on Riemannian Flow Matching on product manifolds. The model generates variable-sized typed sets of particles and radiation side effects that are the result of the interaction of an incident particle with a material volume. The resulting kernel can be composed to simulate unseen large-scale material distributions in a zero-shot manner. Unlike mechanistic simulators, our model is designed to be differentiable, provides tractable likelihoods for future downstream applications. A significant computational speed-up on GPU compared to CPU-bound mechanistic simulation is observed for single-kernel execution. We evaluate the model at the kernel level and demonstrate predictive stability over multi-round autoregressive rollouts. We additionally release a novel 20M-event radiation-matter interaction dataset for further research.

Predicting 3D structure by latent posterior sampling

The remarkable achievements of both generative models of 2D images and neural field representations for 3D scenes present a compelling opportunity to integrate the strengths of both approaches. In this work, we propose a methodology that combines a NeRF-based representation of 3D scenes with probabilistic modeling and reasoning using diffusion models. We view 3D reconstruction as a perception problem with inherent uncertainty that can thereby benefit from probabilistic inference methods. The core idea is to represent the 3D scene as a stochastic latent variable for which we can learn a prior and use it to perform posterior inference given a set of observations. We formulate posterior sampling using the score-based inference method of diffusion models in conjunction with a likelihood term computed from a reconstruction model that includes volumetric rendering. We train the model using a two-stage process: first we train the reconstruction model while auto-decoding the latent representations for a dataset of 3D scenes, and then we train the prior over the latents using a diffusion model. By using the model to generate samples from the posterior we demonstrate that various 3D reconstruction tasks can be performed, differing by the type of observation used as inputs. We showcase reconstruction from single-view, multi-view, noisy images, sparse pixels, and sparse depth data. These observations vary in the amount of information they provide for the scene and we show that our method can model the varying levels of inherent uncertainty associated with each task. Our experiments illustrate that this approach yields a comprehensive method capable of accurately predicting 3D structure from diverse types of observations.

Flow Matching Neural Processes

Neural processes (NPs) are a class of models that learn stochastic processes directly from data and can be used for inference, sampling and conditional sampling. We introduce a new NP model based on flow matching, a generative modeling paradigm that has demonstrated strong performance on various data modalities. Following the NP training framework, the model provides amortized predictions of conditional distributions over any arbitrary points in the data. Compared to previous NP models, our model is simple to implement and can be used to sample from conditional distributions using an ODE solver, without requiring auxiliary conditioning methods. In addition, the model provides a controllable tradeoff between accuracy and running time via the number of steps in the ODE solver. We show that our model outperforms previous state-of-the-art neural process methods on various benchmarks including synthetic 1D Gaussian processes data, 2D images, and real-world weather data.
