What does this PR do?

This follows up on a review comment from #1986

_build_mixed_density_estimator now accepts only (batch_x, batch_y, config) also deprecated "mnle" and "mnpe" factory paths translate their flat arguments into MixedConfig, removing the second construction path, flat internal parameters, duplicated mixed_nets.model_builders registry, and TYPE_CHECKING import

Not supported continuous model setting now raise instead of being silently ignored. Explicit None values retain the legacy unset behavior including flow_model=None selecting the default NSF

Does this close any issues?

No but this is a follow-up to #1986

Anything else we should know?

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

MNLE and MNPE factory paths now use typed MixedConfig objects. Mixed estimator builders consume those configurations. Unknown models raise deferred NotImplementedError. Tests cover defaults, overrides, explicit None, tail-bound propagation, and z-scoring validation.

Changes

Mixed density estimator configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Mixed configuration adapter
sbi/neural_nets/net_builders/estimator_configs.py
MixedConfig.build() passes the complete configuration to the mixed estimator builder. Deprecated flat factory arguments are converted into nested configurations with preserved defaults, width overrides, dropout settings, and tail_bound=10.0.
Typed mixed estimator builder
sbi/neural_nets/net_builders/mixed_nets.py
MNLE and MNPE build through MixedConfig. Categorical inputs, embeddings, z-scoring, log transforms, and continuous model settings are read from the typed configuration.
Factory routing and deferred errors
sbi/neural_nets/factory.py
Likelihood and posterior factories route MNLE and MNPE through the mixed configuration path. Unknown models return build functions that raise NotImplementedError when invoked.
Configuration and behavior validation
tests/density_estimator_builder_test.py, tests/factory_config_test.py, tests/npe_nle_builder_integration_test.py, tests/sbiutils_test.py
Tests validate typed-config equivalence, defaults, explicit None handling, width fallback, tail-bound propagation, removal of legacy mixed validation, and z-scoring behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1abd5

The refactor centralizes mixed-estimator construction through typed configuration and preserves current default behavior, but duplicated defaults could drift between supported construction paths over time; the change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or a follow-up to centralize or pin those defaults.

Synchronize mixed-builder defaults with factory defaults.

_config_from_flat_kwargs duplicates the factory defaults, and _mixed_config_from_factory_kwargs treats matching values as unset. If a factory default changes, an explicit use of the new default can be accepted by build_mnle but discarded by likelihood_nn("mnle"). Add a regression test for both legacy builders and mixed factory paths, or use one shared default source.

Uses an autoregressive categorical density estimator to model the discrete part
and a conditional density estimator to model the continuous part of the data.

Note: If the condition y is > 1D, an embedding net must be provided. Then,
during inference, we need to combine the embedded condition with the
discrete part of the input data. To do this, we use a combined embedding net
that takes the discrete part of the input and the embedded condition as
input and passes it on to the flow model.
To this end, we build the z-scoring and the embedding net in this function
here, i.e., outside of the flow model, and then pass z_score_x="none" to the
flow builder.
The y-embedding is passed to MixedDensityEstimator, which then uses it to
embed the continuous part and concatenate it with the discrete part during
log_prob evaluation and sampling.
The combined embedding net is passed to the flow model, which then uses it
to combine the already embedded and combined condition.

The old docstring was the only place the mixed condition trick was written down: y is z-scored and embedded here, concatenated with the discrete columns, and the combined net becomes the flow's embedding_net, which is why the flow is built with z_score_x="none". mixed_nets.py has no module docstring now, and MixedConfig only touches this. Please keep a condensed version as the module docstring.

Argument(s) ['num_components'] are not used by model='nsf' and would be silently ignored. Configure the model directly with NSFConfig, or use `extra_kwargs` to forward library-specific options.

The caller wrote model="mnle" and never mentioned nsf, and NSFConfig alone is not where they need to go — it is MixedConfig(continuous=NSFConfig(...)). This argument was silently ignored before this PR, so the message ships with it. Please make this call site name the model the caller chose and point at MixedConfig; the role argument is already threaded through for the unknown-model branch.

z_score_condition and embedding_net are forwarded whatever the caller did, while
the continuous arguments below drop a value still at the factory default. Both
defaults agree with MixedConfig's today, so nothing is wrong right now — but a
divergence would silently override the config default, which is exactly how the

This function removes the last production reader of model_builders, ConditionalFlowConfig and _BUILD_KWARG_ALIASES' flat path, so three things can be deleted I think, please double check:

  • model_builders at line 46, plus 16 of the 18 builder imports at line 19 that exist only to fill it (build_zuko_unconditional_flow is the only one with another caller). Not in sbi.neural_nets.__all__, not documented — about 34 lines kept alive by test_legacy_public_builder_registry_remains_complete.
  • ClassifierConfig (estimator_configs.py:358, 20 lines) — no reference left anywhere.
  • ConditionalFlowConfig (estimator_configs.py:298, 60 lines) — none in sbi/. The three tests in build_context_test.py that use it are testing _EstimatorBuilderBase, and MarginalFlowConfig is still alive, so it can stand in.

The last commit replaced a built-net comparison with a signature comparison, and default parity is no longer checked on a network anywhere: test_mixed_string_path_builds_the_typed_config sets every value explicitly, and test_mixed_default_keeps_the_previous_continuous_net reads fields. I ran the previous body at this head and it still passes, so nothing forced the change.

Please keep the previous test state: a state-dict comparison covers the wiring, and the field comparison then only needs the two things a state dict cannot see, tail_bound and dropout_probability.

These three lines are _assert_same_net from line 248. Please move the helper above this test and call it; _mixed_batches at line 240 would also replace the torch.cat here and in test_mixed_keeps_the_flat_tail_bound_for_every_model.
