no code implementations19 Oct 2023 D. Huppenkothen, M. Ntampaka, M. Ho, M. Fouesneau, B. Nord, J. E. G. Peek, M. Walmsley, J. F. Wu, C. Avestruz, T. Buck, M. Brescia, D. P. Finkbeiner, A. D. Goulding, T. Kacprzak, P. Melchior, M. Pasquato, N. Ramachandra, Y. -S. Ting, G. van de Ven, S. Villar, V. A. Villar, E. Zinger

With this paper, we aim to provide a primer to the astronomical community, including authors, reviewers, and editors, on how to implement machine learning models and report their results in a way that ensures the accuracy of the results, reproducibility of the findings, and usefulness of the method.

A deep learning view of the census of galaxy clusters in IllustrisTNG

no code implementations10 Jul 2020 Y. Su, Y. Zhang, G. Liang, J. A. ZuHone, D. J. Barnes, N. B. Jacobs, M. Ntampaka, W. R. Forman, P. E. J. Nulsen, R. P. Kraft, C. Jones

From this analysis, we observe that the network has utilized regions from cluster centers out to r~300 kpc and r~500 kpc to identify CC and NCC clusters, respectively.

A Deep Learning Approach to Galaxy Cluster X-ray Masses

no code implementations17 Oct 2018 M. Ntampaka, J. ZuHone, D. Eisenstein, D. Nagai, A. Vikhlinin, L. Hernquist, F. Marinacci, D. Nelson, R. Pakmor, A. Pillepich, P. Torrey, M. Vogelsberger

Despite our simplifying assumption to neglect spectral information, the resulting mass values estimated by the CNN exhibit small bias in comparison to the true masses of the simulated clusters (-0. 02 dex) and reproduce the cluster masses with low intrinsic scatter, 8% in our best fold and 12% averaging over all.

Dynamical Mass Measurements of Contaminated Galaxy Clusters Using Machine Learning

no code implementations17 Sep 2015 M. Ntampaka, H. Trac, D. J. Sutherland, S. Fromenteau, B. Poczos, J. Schneider

We study dynamical mass measurements of galaxy clusters contaminated by interlopers and show that a modern machine learning (ML) algorithm can predict masses by better than a factor of two compared to a standard scaling relation approach.
