摘要:

为了回答现代宇宙学和星系演化理论的开放性问题,我们需要一个强有力的算法来计算大样本星系的光度红移。正确估计各种photo-z算法的性能需要注意性能指标和用于估计的数据。在这项工作中,我们使用监督机器学习算法MLPQNA来计算COSMOS 2015目录中星系的光度红移,并使用无监督自组织映射(SOM)来确定所得估计的可靠性。我们发现,对于spec-z<1.2,photo-z预测与SED拟合photo-z处于相同的质量水平。我们表明,SOM成功地检测到不可靠的spec-z,导致偏见的估计的photo-z算法的性能。此外,我们使用SOM来选择具有可靠的photo-z预测的对象。我们的清洁程序允许提取的对象的子集,最终的照片-Z目录的质量提高了两倍,相比整体统计。

英文摘要:

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