AI 中文摘要
我们首次将基于模拟的推断方法应用于共振非弹性X射线散射（RIXS）光谱领域。采用截断边际神经比率估计（truncated marginal neural ratio estimation）以有效限制先验分布，并使用条件流匹配（conditional flow matching）作为联合密度估计器，在适度的模拟预算下，我们对两种Ni²⁺化合物——代表共价体系的NiPS₃和更偏向原子体系的K₂NiF₄——推断出完整的后验分布。我们证实，一种对RIXS图谱进行与物理布局匹配的分词处理的视觉Transformer（vision transformer）编码器，相比通用图像编码器能产生覆盖性更好、更清晰的后验分布。将该经验证的方法应用于实验测得的NiPS₃和K₂NiF₄数据，我们恢复出的联合后验分布揭示了点估计器无法察觉的参数相关性，且后验预测分布与观测光谱高度吻合。该摊销后验为该领域开启了一类此前无法开展的分析，如 nuisance边缘化不确定性量化、多测量后验融合及主动实验设计。
英文摘要
We present the first application of simulation-based inference to resonant inelastic X-ray scattering spectroscopy. Using truncated marginal neural ratio estimation to efficiently restrict the prior and conditional flow matching as the joint density estimator, we infer full posteriors with a modest simulation budget for two Ni$^{2+}$ compounds---NiPS$_3$ as a representative covalent case and K$_2$NiF$_4$ as a more atomic one. We demonstrate that a vision transformer encoder whose tokenization matches the physical layout of the RIXS map yields better-covered and sharper posteriors than generic image encoders. Applying the validated method to experimental NiPS$_3$ and K$_2$NiF$_4$ data, we recover a joint posterior that reveals parameter correlations invisible to point estimators, and a posterior predictive distribution that closely matches the observed spectrum. The amortized posterior unlocks a class of analyses not previously available to the field such as nuisance-marginalized uncertainty quantification, multi-measurement posterior fusion and active experimental design.
