We propose and demonstrate a method for unsupervised DA for cosmological inference with GNNs. We use an MMD-based loss to enable the domain-invariant encoding of features by the GNN. This approach enhances cross-domain robustness: compared to previous methods, DA-GNNs reduce prediction error and improve uncertainty estimates.

Limitations The cross-domain accuracy remains worse when compared to single-domain performance. Although reaching the same accuracy might not be possible, more flexible approaches such as adversarial-based DA techniques [20, 36], instead of distance-based ones such as MMD, might yield better results. Moreover, due to computational and time constraints, our models have been trained and tested only on two of the four available CAMELS simulation suites. Using more suites would yield better cross-domain efficacy and reliability at assessment time. These limitations will be addressed in future work.
