The redshifted 21cm signal from the post-reionization epoch is highly non-Gaussian; thus, higher-order statistics, such as the bispectrum, are required to extract this non-Gaussian information. However, high-signal-to-noise ratio detection…

We introduce a machine-learning-based approach to enhance the sensitivity of optical-extreme ultraviolet (XUV) transient absorption spectroscopy. A reference spectrum is used as input to a three-layer feed-forward neural network, allowing…
