• I have read the contributing guide.
• uv run pytest -n auto -m "not slow and not gpu" passes.
• uv run pre-commit run --all-files passes (ruff and formatting).
• uv run pyright sbi passes.
• I added or updated tests for the changed behavior.
• I used Google-style docstrings for new or changed public functions.
• (If applicable) I reported how long new tests run and marked slow ones
  with pytest.mark.slow.

Walkthrough

UniformNormalConvolution now derives its batch shape by broadcasting low, high, scale, and noise. A test checks the resulting batch shape and the shapes returned by sampling and log_prob.

Changes: Batch parameter broadcasting

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Broadcast batch shape and verify output dimensions sbi/utils/vector_field_utils.py, tests/vector_field_utils_test.py	The distribution derives its batch shape from all four parameter shapes. The test checks a batch shape of [3] and sample and log_prob shapes of [5, 3].

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Possibly related PRs

• sbi-dev/sbi#2063: Both PRs change UniformNormalConvolution; this PR changes batch-shape broadcasting, while PR #2063 changes density calculation and normalization.
• sbi-dev/sbi#2111: PR #2111 adds per-sample time support in vector-field score paths, which can produce batched scale and noise values handled by this PR.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix: broadcast UniformNormalConvolution batch shape" matches the changeset. The summary says UniformNormalConvolution.init now broadcasts the shapes of low, high, scale, and noise instead of using only low.shape, and a test covers this. The title names the main change and the component. It is concise and specific.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 2 files.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is the unfilled repository template. It has no content under 'What does this PR do?', no linked issue under 'Does this close any issues?', and no notes under 'Anything else we should know?'. The checklist items are all unchecked, including the test and pre-commit items. The author did not describe the change, the problem it solves, or the test results. The description is largely incomplete.

Resolution

Describe the change in the 'What does this PR do?' section. Explain that UniformNormalConvolution now broadcasts the shapes of low, high, scale, and noise to set its batch shape, and that it previously used only low.shape. Add a linked issue in 'Does this close any issues?' or state that none exists. Check the boxes that apply, and confirm that the pytest, pre-commit, and pyright commands pass. Mention whether the new test ran and how long it takes. State whether an AI assistant wrote substantial parts of the change.

Use a common device for sampling.

With low=0.0, high=1.0, and CUDA vectors for scale and noise, the new batch shape makes x a CPU vector. sample() then fails when it multiplies x by the CUDA scale; PyTorch only transfers scalar CPU tensors automatically. (docs.pytorch.org)

Normalize scalar parameters to the tensor device, or create both random draws on a common device.

Update the sampling logic around torch.rand so the random draw and scale/noise
tensors use a common device, including when low and high are scalar values and
scale and noise are CUDA tensors. Normalize scalar parameters to the tensor
device or create both random draws on a common device, preserving the existing
batch shape and sampling behavior.
