• Abstract: Strongly lensed supernovae are a promising new probe to obtain independent measurements of the Hubble constant (${H_0}$). In this work, we employ simulated gravitationally lensed Type Ia supernovae (glSNe Ia) to train our machine learning (ML) pipeline to constrain $H_0$. We simulate image time-series of glSNIa, as observed with the upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, that we employ for training an ensemble of five convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The outputs of this ensemble network are combined with a simulation-based inference (SBI) framework to quantify the uncertainties on the network predictions and infer full posteriors for the $H_0$ estimates. We illustrate that the combination of multiple glSN systems enhances constraint precision, providing a $4.4\%$ estimate of $H_0$ based on 100 simulated systems, which is in agreement with the ground truth. This research highlights the potential of leveraging the capabilities of ML with glSNe systems to obtain a pipeline capable of fast and automated $H_0$ measurements.

  In this paper, we investigate the training dynamics of $L$-layer neural networks using the tensor gradient program (SGD) framework. We show that SGD enables these networks to learn linearly independent features that substantially deviate from their initial values. This rich feature space captures relevant data information and ensures that any convergent point of the training process is a global minimum.

  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.

  Multiplicative normalizing flows (MNFs) are a family of approximate posteriors for the parameters of BNNs. We have compared MNFs with respect to the standard BNNs, and the flipout estimator. MNFs provide more realistic predictive distribution closer to the true posterior mitigating the bias introduced by the variational approximation.

  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.

  Current practice requires expensive computational costs in model training for performance prediction. We propose a novel framework for neural network selection by analyzing the governing dynamics over synaptic connections (edges) during training. Our framework is built on the fact that back-propagation during neural network training is equivalent to the dynamical evolution of synaptic connections.
