• Abstract: Understanding the star-formation properties of galaxies as a function of cosmic epoch is a critical exercise in studies of galaxy evolution. Traditionally, stellar population synthesis models have been used to obtain best fit parameters that characterise star formation in galaxies. As multiband flux measurements become available for thousands of galaxies, an alternative approach to characterising star formation using machine learning becomes feasible. In this work, we present the use of deep learning techniques to predict three important star formation properties -- stellar mass, star formation rate and dust luminosity. We characterise the performance of our deep learning models through comparisons with outputs from a standard stellar population synthesis code.

• Towards solving model bias in cosmic shear forward modeling [2.967246997200238]
  Weak gravitational lensing generates a slight shearing of galaxy morphologies called cosmic shear. Modern techniques of shear estimation based on statistics of ellipticity measurements suffer from the fact that the ellipticity is not a well-defined quantity for arbitrary galaxy light profiles. We show that a hybrid physical and deep learning Hierarchical Bayesian Model, where a generative model captures the galaxy morphology, enables us to recover an unbiased estimate of the shear on realistic galaxies.

  We show that a Bayesian Neural Network (BNN) can be used for the inference, with uncertainty, of such parameters from simulated low-surface-brightness galaxy images. Compared to traditional profile-fitting methods, we show that the uncertainties obtained using BNNs are comparable in magnitude, well-calibrated, and the point estimates of the parameters are closer to the true values.
