• Abstract: The detection of exoplanets in high-contrast imaging (HCI) data hinges on post-processing methods to remove spurious light from the host star. So far, existing methods for this task hardly utilize any of the available domain knowledge about the problem explicitly. We propose a new approach to HCI post-processing based on a modified half-sibling regression scheme, and show how we use this framework to combine machine learning with existing scientific domain knowledge. On three real data sets, we demonstrate that the resulting system performs clearly better (both visually and in terms of the SNR) than one of the currently leading algorithms. If further studies can confirm these results, our method could have the potential to allow significant discoveries of exoplanets both in new and archival data.

  Most post-processing methods build a model of the nuisances from the target observations themselves. We propose to build the nuisance model from an archive of multiple observations by leveraging supervised deep learning techniques. We apply the proposed algorithm to several datasets from the VLT/SPHERE instrument, and demonstrate a superior precision-recall trade-off.

  Medical ultrasound imaging relies heavily on high-quality signal processing to provide reliable and interpretable image reconstructions. Deep learning based methods, which are optimized in a data-driven fashion, have gained popularity. A relatively new paradigm combines the power of the two: leveraging data-driven deep learning, as well as exploiting domain knowledge.

• Half-sibling regression meets exoplanet imaging: PSF modeling and subtraction using a flexible, domain knowledge-driven, causal framework [7.025418443146435]
  Existing post-processing algorithms do not use all prior domain knowledge that is available about the problem. We propose a new method that builds on our understanding of the systematic noise and the causal structure of the data-generating process. Our algorithm provides a better false-positive fraction than PCA-based PSF subtraction, a popular baseline method in the field.

A modern Deep Learning framework is used to correct autonomously the setup incoherences, thus improving the quality of a ptychography reconstruction. We tested our system on both synthetic datasets and also on real data acquired at the TwinMic beamline of the Elettra synchrotron facility.

  We propose a novel spectral-spatial residual network for hyperspectral image super-resolution (SSRNet) Our method can effectively explore spatial-spectral information by using 3D convolution instead of 2D convolution, which enables the network to better extract potential information. In each unit, we employ spatial and temporal separable 3D convolution to extract spatial and spectral information, which not only reduces unaffordable memory usage and high computational cost, but also makes the network easier to train.
