چکیده
In order to answer the open questions of modern cosmology and galaxy evolution theory, robust algorithms for calculating photometric redshifts (photo-z) very large samples galaxies are needed. Correct estimation various photo-z algorithms' performance requires attention both metrics data used estimation. this work, we use supervised machine learning algorithm MLPQNA calculate in COSMOS2015 catalogue unsupervised Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) determine reliability resulting estimates. We find that spec-z<1.2, predictions on same level quality as SED fitting photo-z. show SOM successfully detects unreliable spec-z cause biases performance. Additionally, select objects with reliable predictions. Our cleaning procedures allow extract subset which final catalogs is improved by a factor two, compared overall statistics.

Cosmology with photometric redshift surveys
We explore the utility of future photometric redshift imaging surveys for delineating the large-scale structure of the Universe, and assess the resulting constraints on the cosmological model. We perform two complementary types of analysis: (1) We quantify the statistical confidence and the accuracy with which such surveys will be able to detect and measure characteristic features in the cluste...
متن کاملMachine Learning Techniques for Astrophysical Modelling and Photometric Redshift Estimation of Quasars in Optical Sky Surveys
Machine learning techniques are utilised in several areas of astrophysical research today. This dissertation addresses the application of ML techniques to two classes of problems in astrophysics, namely, the analysis of individual astronomical phenomena over time and the automated, simultaneous analysis of thousands of objects in large optical sky surveys. Specifically investigated are (1) tech...
متن کاملANNz2 - photometric redshift and probability distribution function estimation using machine learning
We present ANNz2, a new implementation of the public software for photometric redshift (photo-z) estimation of Collister and Lahav (2004), which now includes generation of full probability distribution functions (PDFs). ANNz2 utilizes multiple machine learning methods, such as artificial neural networks and boosted decision/regression trees. The objective of the algorithm is to optimize the per...
متن کاملEvaluating Machine Learning for Improving Power Grid Reliability
Ensuring reliability as the electrical grid morphs into the “smart grid” will require innovations in how we assess the state of the grid, for the purpose of proactive maintenance, rather than reactive maintenance – in the future, we will not only react to failures, but also try to anticipate and avoid them using predictive modeling (machine learning) techniques. To help in meeting this challeng...
متن کاملPhotometric Redshift Error Estimators
Photometric redshift (photo-z) estimates are playing an increasingly important role in extragalactic astronomy and cosmology. Crucial to many photo-z applications is the accurate quantification of photometric redshift errors and their distributions, including identification of likely catastrophic failures in photo-z estimates. We consider several methods of estimating photo-z errors and propose...
