no code implementations2 Nov 2023 Andrea Roncoli, Aleksandra Ćiprijanović, Maggie Voetberg, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Brian Nord

Deep learning models have been shown to outperform methods that rely on summary statistics, like the power spectrum, in extracting information from complex cosmological data sets.

WavPool: A New Block for Deep Neural Networks

no code implementations14 Jun 2023 Samuel D. McDermott, M. Voetberg, Brian Nord

Modern deep neural networks comprise many operational layers, such as dense or convolutional layers, which are often collected into blocks.

Neural Inference of Gaussian Processes for Time Series Data of Quasars

1 code implementation17 Nov 2022 Egor Danilov, Aleksandra Ćiprijanović, Brian Nord

A baseline approach to these tasks is to interpolate a time series with a Damped Random Walk (DRW) model, in which the spectrum is inferred using Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE).

A robust estimator of mutual information for deep learning interpretability

1 code implementation31 Oct 2022 Davide Piras, Hiranya V. Peiris, Andrew Pontzen, Luisa Lucie-Smith, Ningyuan Guo, Brian Nord

Interpretable Uncertainty Quantification in AI for HEP

no code implementations5 Aug 2022 Thomas Y. Chen, Biprateep Dey, Aishik Ghosh, Michael Kagan, Brian Nord, Nesar Ramachandra

Estimating uncertainty is at the core of performing scientific measurements in HEP: a measurement is not useful without an estimate of its uncertainty.

Discovering the building blocks of dark matter halo density profiles with neural networks

no code implementations16 Mar 2022 Luisa Lucie-Smith, Hiranya V. Peiris, Andrew Pontzen, Brian Nord, Jeyan Thiyagalingam, Davide Piras

The additional dimension in the representation contains information about the infalling material in the outer profiles of dark matter halos, thus discovering the splashback boundary of halos without prior knowledge of the halos' dynamical history.

Learning Representation for Bayesian Optimization with Collision-free Regularization

no code implementations16 Mar 2022 Fengxue Zhang, Brian Nord, Yuxin Chen

We show that even with proper network design, such learned representation often leads to collision in the latent space: two points with significantly different observations collide in the learned latent space, leading to degraded optimization performance.

DeepAdversaries: Examining the Robustness of Deep Learning Models for Galaxy Morphology Classification

no code implementations28 Dec 2021 Aleksandra Ćiprijanović, Diana Kafkes, Gregory Snyder, F. Javier Sánchez, Gabriel Nathan Perdue, Kevin Pedro, Brian Nord, Sandeep Madireddy, Stefan M. Wild

On the other hand, we show that training with domain adaptation improves model robustness and mitigates the effects of these perturbations, improving the classification accuracy by 23% on data with higher observational noise.

DeepSZ: Identification of Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Galaxy Clusters using Deep Learning

no code implementations25 Feb 2021 Zhen Lin, Nicholas Huang, Camille Avestruz, W. L. Kimmy Wu, Shubhendu Trivedi, João Caldeira, Brian Nord

We present a comparison between two methods of cluster identification: the standard Matched Filter (MF) method in SZ cluster finding and a method using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN).

Learning Collision-free Latent Space for Bayesian Optimization

no code implementations1 Jan 2021 Fengxue Zhang, Yair Altas, Louise Fan, Kaustubh Vinchure, Brian Nord, Yuxin Chen

To address this issue, we propose Collision-Free Latent Space Optimization (CoFLO), which employs a novel regularizer to reduce the collision in the learned latent space and encourage the mapping from the latent space to objective value to be Lipschitz continuous.
