We introduce a strategy to compute EPRL spin foam amplitudes with many internal faces numerically. We work with sl2cfoam-next, the state-of-the-art framework to numerically evaluate spin foam transition amplitudes. We find that uniform sampling Monte Carlo is exceptionally effective in approximating the sum over internal quantum numbers of a spin foam amplitude, considerably reducing the computational resources necessary. We apply it to compute large volume divergences of the theory and find surprising numerical evidence that the EPRL vertex renormalization amplitude is instead finite.

Deep learning spinfoam vertex amplitudes: the Euclidean Barrett-Crane model
A proof-of-principle that simple neural networks can learn Euclidean Barrett-Crane 10j vertex amplitudes: classification generalizes to higher cutoffs, regression works only within the trained low-spin domain.

(2+1) Lorentzian quantum cosmology from spin-foams: opportunities and obstacles for semi-classicality
A 2+1 Lorentzian spin-foam cosmology model with a Hessian-derived measure and a massive scalar field yields convergent partition functions, with semi-classical expectation values only in the causally regular sector an...
