We present the cosmological results with a CNN from the KiDS-450 tomographic weak lensing dataset, constraining the total matter density $\Omega_m$, the fluctuation amplitude $\sigma_8$, and the intrinsic alignment amplitude $A_{\rm{IA}}$.

We find that, for a shape noise level corresponding to 8. 53 galaxies/arcmin$^2$ and the smoothing scale of $\sigma_s = 2. 34$ arcmin, the network is able to generate 45% tighter constraints.

Computational models of the underlying physical processes, such as classical N-body simulations, are extremely resource intensive, as they track the action of gravity in an expanding universe using billions of particles as tracers of the cosmic matter distribution.

We find that our approach is able to accurately reproduce the SDSS PSF at the pixel level, which, due to the speed of both the model evaluation and the parameter estimation, offers good prospects for incorporating our method into the $MCCL$ framework.

This model is trained on a small number of simulations and estimates which regions of the prior space are likely to be accepted into the posterior.

We find that our implementation of DCNN outperforms the skewness and kurtosis statistics, especially for high noise levels.

We first review the principles of ABC and discuss its implementation using a Population Monte-Carlo (PMC) algorithm and the Mahalanobis distance metric.

For a future DUNE-like full sky survey, we find that, for cases with mild redshift evolution, the variance of the additive systematic signal should be kept below 10^-7 to ensure biases on cosmological parameters that are sub-dominant to the statistical errors.
