A self-supervised, physics-aware, Bayesian neural network architecture for modelling galaxy emission-line kinematics

Abstract

In the upcoming decades large facilities, such as the SKA, will provide resolved observations of the kinematics of millions of galaxies. In order to assist in the timely exploitation of these vast datasets we blackexplore the use of a self-supervised, physics aware neural network capable of Bayesian kinematic modelling of galaxies. We demonstrate the network’s ability to model the kinematics of cold gas in galaxies with an emphasis on recovering physical parameters and accompanying modelling errors. The model is able to recover rotation curves, inclinations and disc scale lengths for both CO and H i data which match well with those found in the literature. The model is also able to provide modelling errors over learned parameters thanks to the application of quasi-Bayesian Monte-Carlo dropout. This work shows the promising use of machine learning, and in particular self-supervised neural networks, in the context of kinematically modelling galaxies. This work represents the first steps in applying such models for kinematic fitting and we propose that variants of our model would seem especially suitable for enabling emission-line science from upcoming surveys with e.g. the SKA, allowing fast exploitation of these large datasets.

Evaluation method for electromagnetic interference complexity of high voltage switch based on feature extraction and GCC‐GRU network

“…The concept of IF is proposed instead of being constructed with a simple amplitude or frequency. The expression of IF is shown in the Equation (22).…”

“…From the perspective of evaluation methods, there are many evaluation methods currently studied, such as AHP [18], Dempster-Shafer (D-S) evidence theory method [19], multiple connection number method [20], cloud barycenter evaluation method, neural network [21,22] etc. Dawson J.M [23] uses AHP to search the complexity of the electromagnetic environment, then establishes a hierarchical structure, and gives specific evaluation criteria.…”

Exploring Bayesian Optimization for Photocatalytic Reduction of CO2

“…In particular, in such a complex product selectivity model, the PI acquisition function tended to explore near the maximum value, which provided a practical compromise for the optimization properties of BNN. To obtain better optimization performance, BNN's complex model architecture [50] requires more datasets with more samples and more training rounds to demonstrate its powerful learning ability. Overall, the surrogate model performs more consistently compared to BNN in bivariate optimization due to GP's superior performance on small datasets.…”
