Residual 1D CNN for Low SFR Surface Density Regression: A Design Note

Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics 2025-06-04 v1

Abstract

This technical note describes the design and modular implementation of a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D CNN) adapted from residual networks (ResNet), developed for photometric regression tasks with an emphasis on low star formation rate surface density (ΣSFR\Sigma_{\mathrm{SFR}}) inference. The model features residual block structures optimized for sparse targets, with optional loss weighting and diagnostic tools for analyzing residual behavior. The implementation (version \texttt{v1.4}) originated during a collaborative project and is documented here independently. No external data are reproduced or analyzed. This note provides a reusable architectural reference for scalar regression problems in astronomy and related domains.
