+In many fields of science, high-dimensional integration is
+required. Numerical methods have been developed to evaluate these
+complex integrals. We introduce the code i-flow, a Python package that
+performs high-dimensional numerical integration utilizing normalizing
+flows. Normalizing flows are machine-learned, bijective mappings between
+two distributions. i-flow can also be used to sample random points
+according to complicated distributions in high dimensions. We compare
+i-flow to other algorithms for high-dimensional numerical integration
+and show that i-flow outperforms them for high dimensional correlated
+integrals.
