We present an emulator for the two-point clustering of biased tracers in real space. We construct this emulator using neural networks calibrated with more than 400 cosmological models in a 8-dimensional cosmological parameter space that includes massive neutrinos an dynamical dark energy. The properties of biased tracers are described via a Lagrangian perturbative bias expansion which is advected to Eulerian space using the displacement field of numerical simulations. The cosmology-dependence is captured thanks to a cosmology-rescaling algorithm. We show that our emulator is capable of describing the power spectrum of galaxy formation simulations for a sample mimicking that of a typical Emission-Line survey at z∼1 with an accuracy of 1−2% up to nonlinear scales k∼0.7hMpc−1.
