Abstract = {We demonstrate the successful use of scattering representations without
further compression for simulation-based inference (SBI) with images (i.e.
field-level), illustrated with a cosmological case study. Scattering
representations provide a highly effective representational space for
subsequent learning tasks, although the higher dimensional compressed space
introduces challenges. We overcome these through spatial averaging, coupled
with more expressive density estimators. Compared to alternative methods, such
an approach does not require additional simulations for either training or
computing derivatives, is interpretable, and resilient to covariate shift. As
expected, we show that a scattering only approach extracts more information
than traditional second order summary statistics.},
