• Abstract summary: We present a Deep-Learning (DL) pipeline developed for the detection and characterization of astronomical sources within simulated Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) data cubes. The pipeline is composed of six DL models: a Convolutional Autoencoder for source detection within the spatial domain of the integrated data cubes, a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) for denoising and peak detection within the frequency domain, and four Residual Neural Networks (ResNets) for source characterization.

• Abstract: We present a Deep-Learning (DL) pipeline developed for the detection and characterization of astronomical sources within simulated Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) data cubes. The pipeline is composed of six DL models: a Convolutional Autoencoder for source detection within the spatial domain of the integrated data cubes, a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) for denoising and peak detection within the frequency domain, and four Residual Neural Networks (ResNets) for source characterization. The combination of spatial and frequency information improves completeness while decreasing spurious signal detection. To train and test the pipeline, we developed a simulation algorithm able to generate realistic ALMA observations, i.e. both sky model and dirty cubes. The algorithm simulates always a central source surrounded by fainter ones scattered within the cube. Some sources were spatially superimposed in order to test the pipeline deblending capabilities. The detection performances of the pipeline were compared to those of other methods and significant improvements in performances were achieved. Source morphologies are detected with subpixel accuracies obtaining mean residual errors of $10^{-3}$ pixel ($0.1$ mas) and $10^{-1}$ mJy/beam on positions and flux estimations, respectively. Projection angles and flux densities are also recovered within $10\%$ of the true values for $80\%$ and $73\%$ of all sources in the test set, respectively. While our pipeline is fine-tuned for ALMA data, the technique is applicable to other interferometric observatories, as SKA, LOFAR, VLBI, and VLTI.

  The 21 cm spectral line emission of atomic neutral hydrogen (HI) is one of the primary wavelengths observed in radio astronomy. This study aimed to find the optimal pipeline for finding and masking the most sources with the best mask quality and the fewest artefacts in 3D neutral hydrogen cubes. Two traditional source-finding methods were tested, SoFiA and MTObjects, as well as a new supervised deep learning approach, in which a 3D convolutional neural network architecture, known as V-Net was used. The pipelines were tested on HI data cubes from the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope with additional inserted mock galaxies.

• DECORAS: detection and characterization of radio-astronomical sources using deep learning [0.0]
  We present DECORAS, a deep learning based approach to detect both point and extended sources from Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations. Our approach is based on an encoder-decoder neural network architecture that uses a low number of convolutional layers to provide a scalable solution for source detection. We find that DECORAS can recover the position of the detected sources to within 0.61 $pm$ 0.69 mas, and the effective radius and peak surface brightness are recovered to within 20 per cent for 98 and 94 per cent of the sources, respectively.

• Contextual-Bandit Anomaly Detection for IoT Data in Distributed Hierarchical Edge Computing [65.78881372074983]
  IoT devices can hardly afford complex deep neural networks (DNN) models, and offloading anomaly detection tasks to the cloud incurs long delay. We propose and build a demo for an adaptive anomaly detection approach for distributed hierarchical edge computing (HEC) systems. We show that our proposed approach significantly reduces detection delay without sacrificing accuracy, as compared to offloading detection tasks to the cloud.
