| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
I advised and contributed to 4 papers on cosmological analysis of the Hyper Suprime-Cam Year 1 data. Using weak lensing non-Gaussian statistics such as peaks, minima, PDF, and scattering transform, we achieved 30% improvement in cosmological constraints compared to the past work.
I advised a project using machine learning method graph neural networks -- a type of deep neural network designed to analyze sparse, unstructured data -- to reconstruct velocity field, achieving 10% improvement compared to existing methods.
I advised a project investigating and confirming the importance of super-sample covariance for non-Gaussian observables, such as the bispectrum, halos, voids, and their cross covariances.
I reported these results in 12 domestic and international conferences and research seminars.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
The planned research project for year 1 is accomplished. We generated N-body simulations of the dark matter and neutrino fields with FastPM. The neutrino field was modeled using the “linear response” method developed by the PI and collaborators and has been implemented in the FastPM N-body code. We also generated halo catalogs in preparation for Year 2.

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
The project is going smoothly as planned. 3 more publications are in preparation, expected to be submitted within 2024, including: (1) "Cosmological constraints from weak lensing scattering transform using HSC Y1 data"; (2) "Void shape is important: neutrino mass from Voronoi void-halos"; and (3) "HalfDome Cosmological Simulations for Stage IV Surveys: N-body Simulations".
