Title: Tokenised Flow Matching for Hierarchical Simulation Based Inference

Abstract:
arXiv:2604.20723v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The cost of simulator evaluations is a key practical bottleneck for Simulation Based Inference (SBI). In hierarchical settings with shared global parameters and exchangeable site-level parameters and observations, this structure can be exploited to improve simulation efficiency. Existing hierarchical SBI approaches factorise the posterior yet still simulate across multiple sites per training sample; We instead explore likelihood factorisation (LF
