• Abstract summary: We present a machine-learning framework to accurately characterize morphologies of AGN host galaxies within $z1$. By first training on a large number of simulated galaxies, then fine-tuning using far fewer classified real galaxies, our framework predicts the actual morphology for $sim$ $60%-70%$ host galaxies from test sets. Our models achieve disk precision of $96%/82%/79%$ and bulge precision of $90%/90%/80%$, at thresholds corresponding to indeterminate fractions of $30%/43%/42

• Abstract: We present a machine-learning framework to accurately characterize morphologies of Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) host galaxies within $z<1$. We first use PSFGAN to decouple host galaxy light from the central point source, then we invoke the Galaxy Morphology Network (GaMorNet) to estimate whether the host galaxy is disk-dominated, bulge-dominated, or indeterminate. Using optical images from five bands of the HSC Wide Survey, we build models independently in three redshift bins: low $(0<z<0.25)$, medium $(0.25<z<0.5)$, and high $(0.5<z<1.0)$. By first training on a large number of simulated galaxies, then fine-tuning using far fewer classified real galaxies, our framework predicts the actual morphology for $\sim$ $60\%-70\%$ host galaxies from test sets, with a classification precision of $\sim$ $80\%-95\%$, depending on redshift bin. Specifically, our models achieve disk precision of $96\%/82\%/79\%$ and bulge precision of $90\%/90\%/80\%$ (for the 3 redshift bins), at thresholds corresponding to indeterminate fractions of $30\%/43\%/42\%$. The classification precision of our models has a noticeable dependency on host galaxy radius and magnitude. No strong dependency is observed on contrast ratio. Comparing classifications of real AGNs, our models agree well with traditional 2D fitting with GALFIT. The PSFGAN+GaMorNet framework does not depend on the choice of fitting functions or galaxy-related input parameters, runs orders of magnitude faster than GALFIT, and is easily generalizable via transfer learning, making it an ideal tool for studying AGN host galaxy morphology in forthcoming large imaging survey.

  3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has demonstrated remarkable effectiveness for novel view synthesis (NVS) However, the 3DGS model tends to overfit when trained with sparse posed views, limiting its generalization capacity for broader pose variations. We introduce a self-ensembling Gaussian Splatting (SE-GS) approach to alleviate the overfitting problem.

  We introduce fluctuations on galaxy-galaxy lensing scales of $sim$1$''$ and extract random sightlines to train our BGNN. For each test set of 1,000 sightlines, the BGNN infers the individual $kappa$ posteriors, which we combine in a hierarchical Bayesian model. For a test field well sampled by the training set, the BGNN recovers the population mean of $kappa$ precisely and without bias.

  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.
