This study applies a novel machine learning method to calibrate sub-grid models within numerical simulation codes, achieving convergence with observations and between different codes. By using active learning and neural density estimators, the machine is able to automatically calibrate hyperparameters. Through parameter tuning in cosmological zoom simulations, a better agreement with observations is obtained compared to manual calibration. The method is also applied to reconcile metal transport between grid-based and particle-based simulations, revealing a lesser-known relation between diffusion coefficient and metal mass in the halo region.
We apply a novel method with machine learning to calibrate sub-grid models within numerical simulation codes to achieve convergence with observations and between different codes. It utilizes active learning and neural density estimators. The hyper parameters of the machine are calibrated with a well-defined projectile motion problem. Then, using a set of 22 cosmological zoom simulations, we tune the parameters of a popular star formation and feedback model within Enzo to match observations. The parameters that are adjusted include the star formation efficiency, coupling of thermal energy from stellar feedback, and volume into which the energy is deposited. This number translates to a factor of more than three improvements over manual calibration. Despite using fewer simulations, we obtain a better agreement to the observed baryon makeup of a Milky Way (MW)-sized halo. Switching to a different strategy, we improve the consistency of the recommended parameters from the machine. Given the success of the calibration, we then apply the technique to reconcile metal transport between grid-based and particle-based simulation codes using an isolated galaxy. It is an improvement over manual exploration while hinting at a less-known relation between the diffusion coefficient and the metal mass in the halo region. The exploration and calibration of the parameters of the sub-grid models with a machine learning approach is concluded to be versatile and directly applicable to different problems.
