Emulator pipeline replaces costly forward runs of the Sorocco radiative transfer code with a neural-network surrogate that shrinks a 30+ parameter space to nine key inputs, trains on 100,000+ spectra sampled via Latin hypercube sampling, compresses 15,000-wavelength outputs with PCA, and yields ~94% reconstruction accuracy within 2σ while cutting per-evaluation time from ~30 minutes to ~1 millisecond, enabling real-time inference and ensemble uncertainty estimates via model ensembles and Otuna-powered hyperparameter search.
