Data Compression and Inference in Cosmology with Self-Supervised Machine Learning

1 code implementation18 Aug 2023 Aizhan Akhmetzhanova, Siddharth Mishra-Sharma, Cora Dvorkin

The influx of massive amounts of data from current and upcoming cosmological surveys necessitates compression schemes that can efficiently summarize the data with minimal loss of information.

Image segmentation for analyzing galaxy-galaxy strong lensing systems

no code implementations14 Sep 2020 Bryan Ostdiek, Ana Diaz Rivero, Cora Dvorkin

The goal of this paper is to develop a machine learning model to analyze the main gravitational lens and detect dark substructure (subhalos) within simulated images of strongly lensed galaxies.

Extracting the Subhalo Mass Function from Strong Lens Images with Image Segmentation

no code implementations14 Sep 2020 Bryan Ostdiek, Ana Diaz Rivero, Cora Dvorkin

Over a wide range of the apparent source magnitude, the false-positive rate is around three false subhalos per 100 images, coming mostly from the lightest detectable subhalo for that signal-to-noise ratio.

Flow-Based Likelihoods for Non-Gaussian Inference

no code implementations10 Jul 2020 Ana Diaz Rivero, Cora Dvorkin

We analyze the accuracy and precision of the reconstructed likelihoods on mock Gaussian data, and show that simply gauging the quality of samples drawn from the trained model is not a sufficient indicator that the true likelihood has been learned.

A Novel CMB Component Separation Method: Hierarchical Generalized Morphological Component Analysis

no code implementations17 Oct 2019 Sebastian Wagner-Carena, Max Hopkins, Ana Diaz Rivero, Cora Dvorkin

We present a novel technique for Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) foreground subtraction based on the framework of blind source separation.

Circumventing Lens Modeling to Detect Dark Matter Substructure in Strong Lens Images with Convolutional Neural Networks

no code implementations30 Sep 2019 Ana Diaz Rivero, Cora Dvorkin

Strong gravitational lensing is a promising way of uncovering the nature of dark matter, by finding perturbations to images that cannot be well accounted for by modeling the lens galaxy without additional structure, be it subhalos (smaller halos within the smooth lens) or line-of-sight (LOS) halos.

Gravitational Lensing and the Power Spectrum of Dark Matter Substructure: Insights from the ETHOS N-body Simulations

1 code implementation31 Aug 2018 Ana Díaz Rivero, Cora Dvorkin, Francis-Yan Cyr-Racine, Jesús Zavala, Mark Vogelsberger

Comparing the amplitude and slope of the power spectrum on scales $0. 1 \lesssim k/$kpc$^{-1} \lesssim 10$ from lenses at different redshifts can help us distinguish between cold dark matter and other exotic dark matter scenarios that alter the abundance and central densities of subhalos.
