• Abstract summary: We use a neural network based on the Recurrent Inference Machine to reconstruct an undistorted image of the background source and the lens mass density distribution as pixelated maps. When compared to more traditional parametric models, the proposed method is significantly more expressive and can reconstruct complex mass distributions.

• Abstract: Modeling strong gravitational lenses in order to quantify the distortions in the images of background sources and to reconstruct the mass density in the foreground lenses has been a difficult computational challenge. As the quality of gravitational lens images increases, the task of fully exploiting the information they contain becomes computationally and algorithmically more difficult. In this work, we use a neural network based on the Recurrent Inference Machine (RIM) to simultaneously reconstruct an undistorted image of the background source and the lens mass density distribution as pixelated maps. The method iteratively reconstructs the model parameters (the image of the source and a pixelated density map) by learning the process of optimizing the likelihood given the data using the physical model (a ray-tracing simulation), regularized by a prior implicitly learned by the neural network through its training data. When compared to more traditional parametric models, the proposed method is significantly more expressive and can reconstruct complex mass distributions, which we demonstrate by using realistic lensing galaxies taken from the IllustrisTNG cosmological hydrodynamic simulation.

  We implement generative deep learning models to link low-cost, low-resolution images of the build plate to detailed high-resolution optical images of the build plate. A conditional latent probabilistic diffusion model is trained to produce realistic high-resolution images of the build plate from low-resolution webcam images. We also design a framework to recreate the 3D morphology of the printed part and analyze the surface roughness of the reconstructed samples.

  This paper focuses on the development of a space-variant regularization model for solving an under-determined linear inverse problem. The primary objective of the proposed model is to achieve a good balance between denoising and the preservation of fine details and edges. A convolutional neural network is designed, to approximate both the ground truth image and its gradient using an elastic loss function in its training.

  In this work, we demonstrate the ability of learned deep neural networks to perform artifact removal in noisy density reconstructions. We use a Wasserstein generative adversarial network (WGAN), where the generator serves as a denoiser that removes artifacts in densities obtained from traditional reconstruction algorithms. Preliminary numerical results show that the models trained in our frameworks can remove significant portions of unknown noise in density time-series data.
