Title: Extracting the Subhalo Mass Function from Strong Lens Images with Image Segmentation
Authors: Bryan Ostdiek, Ana Diaz Rivero, and Cora Dvorkin
Abstract summary: We develop a neural network to both locate subhalos in an image as well as determine their mass. The network is trained on images with a single subhalo located near the Einstein ring. Remarkably, it is then able to detect entire populations of substructure, even for locations further away from the Einstein ring.

Abstract: Detecting substructure within strongly lensed images is a promising route to shed light on the nature of dark matter. However, it is a challenging task, which traditionally requires detailed lens modeling and source reconstruction, taking weeks to analyze each system. We use machine-learning to circumvent the need for lens and source modeling and develop a neural network to both locate subhalos in an image as well as determine their mass using the technique of image segmentation. The network is trained on images with a single subhalo located near the Einstein ring across a wide range of apparent source magnitudes. The network is then able to resolve subhalos with masses $m\gtrsim 10^{8.5} M_{\odot}$. Training in this way allows the network to learn the gravitational lensing of light, and remarkably, it is then able to detect entire populations of substructure, even for locations further away from the Einstein ring than those used in training. 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. With good accuracy and a low false-positive rate, counting the number of pixels assigned to each subhalo class over multiple images allows for a measurement of the subhalo mass function (SMF). When measured over three mass bins from $10^9M_{\odot}$--$10^{10} M_{\odot}$ the SMF slope is recovered with an error of 36% for 50 images, and this improves to 10% for 1000 images with Hubble Space Telescope-like noise.

Metric3D: Towards Zero-shot Metric 3D Prediction from A Single Image [85.91935485902708]
We show that the key to a zero-shot single-view metric depth model lies in the combination of large-scale data training and resolving the metric ambiguity from various camera models. We propose a canonical camera space transformation module, which explicitly addresses the ambiguity problems and can be effortlessly plugged into existing monocular models. Our method enables the accurate recovery of metric 3D structures on randomly collected internet images.

Selection functions of strong lens finding neural networks [0.0]
An understanding of the selection function of lens finding neural networks will be key to fully realising the potential of the large samples of strong gravitational lens systems. We use three training datasets, representative of those used to train galaxy-galaxy and galaxy-quasar lens finding neural networks. The model trained to find lensed quasars shows a stronger preference for higher lens ellipticities than those trained to find lensed galaxies.

Streamlined Lensed Quasar Identification in Multiband Images via Ensemble Networks [34.82692226532414]
Quasars experiencing strong lensing offer unique viewpoints on subjects related to cosmic expansion rate, dark matter, and quasar host galaxies. We have developed a novel approach by ensembling cutting-edge convolutional networks (CNNs) trained on realistic galaxy-quasar lens simulations. We retrieve approximately 60 million sources as parent samples and reduce this to 892,609 after employing a photometry preselection to discover quasars with Einstein radii of $theta_mathrmE5$ arcsec.

Leveraging the Third Dimension in Contrastive Learning [88.17394309208925]
Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) methods operate on unlabeled data to learn robust representations useful for downstream tasks. These augmentations ignore the fact that biological vision takes place in an immersive three-dimensional, temporally contiguous environment. We explore two distinct approaches to incorporating depth signals into the SSL framework.

Single image deep defocus estimation and its applications [82.93345261434943]
We train a deep neural network to classify image patches into one of the 20 levels of blurriness. The trained model is used to determine the patch blurriness which is then refined by applying an iterative weighted guided filter. The result is a defocus map that carries the information of the degree of blurriness for each pixel.

A scale normalized image pyramid (SNIP) is generated that, like human vision, only attends to objects within a fixed size range at different scales. We propose an efficient spatial sub-sampling scheme which only operates on fixed-size sub-regions likely to contain objects. The resulting algorithm is referred to as AutoFocus and results in a 2.5-5 times speed-up during inference when used with SNIP.
