Increasing data volumes from scientific simulations and instruments (supercomputers, accelerators, telescopes) often exceed network, storage, and analysis capabilities. The scientific community's response to this challenge is scientific…
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…
We present AQMP, a novel image codec combining Adaptive Quadtree Refinement with Matching Pursuit. Unlike conventional Matching Pursuit methods that operate on fixed-size sub-images, AQMP dynamically adapts block sizes to local image…
This paper describes a lossy method for compressing raw images produced by CCDs or similar devices. The method is very simple: lossy quantization followed by lossless compression using general-purpose compression tools such as gzip and…
Knowing the redshift of galaxies is one of the first requirements of many cosmological experiments, and as it's impossible to perform spectroscopy for every galaxy being observed, photometric redshift (photo-z) estimations are still of…
Measuring environment for large numbers of distant galaxies is still an open problem, for which we need galaxy positions and redshifts. Photometric redshifts are more easily available for large numbers of galaxies, but at the price of…
Using a grid of $\sim 2$ million elements ($\Delta z = 0.005$) adapted from COSMOS photometric redshift (photo-z) searches, we investigate the general properties of template-based photo-z likelihood surfaces. We find these surfaces are…
I present a new approach at deriving far-infrared photometric redshifts for galaxies based on their reprocessed emission from dust at rest-frame far-infrared through millimeter wavelengths. Far-infrared photometric redshifts ("FIR-$z$")…
We want to approximate general multivariate probability density functions by deterministic sample sets. For optimal sampling, the closeness to the given continuous density has to be assessed. This is a difficult challenge in multivariate…
Many of the cosmological tests to be performed by planned dark energy experiments will require extremely well-characterized photometric redshift measurements. Current estimates are that the true mean redshift of the objects in each photo-z…
An approach is described for studying texture in nanostructured materials. The approach implements the real space texture PDF, txPDF, laid out in [Gong and Billinge (2018) arXiv:1805.10342 [cond-mat]]. It is demonstrated on a fiber textured…
Expanding upon the work of Way and Srivastava 2006 we demonstrate how the use of training sets of comparable size continue to make Gaussian process regression (GPR) a competitive approach to that of neural networks and other least-squares…
We present photometric redshifts (photo-$z$) for the deep wide fields of the Physics of the Accelerating Universe Survey (PAUS), covering an area of $\sim$50 deg$^{2}$, for $\sim$1.8 million objects up to $i_{\textrm{AB}}<23$. The PAUS deep…
A probability density function (pdf) encodes the entire stochastic knowledge about data distribution, where data may represent stochastic observations in robotics, transition state pairs in reinforcement learning or any other empirically…
Accurate reconstruction of probability density functions (PDFs) from data is essential in engineering applications. Classical global moment-based polynomial approximations often suffer from oscillations, instability in the tails, and…
Transformations for enhancing sparsity in the approximation of color images by 2D atomic decomposition are discussed. The sparsity is firstly considered with respect to the most significant coefficients in the wavelet decomposition of the…
Image-to-point cloud registration aims to determine the relative camera pose between an RGB image and a reference point cloud, serving as a general solution for locating 3D objects from 2D observations. Matching individual points with…
The likelihood calculation of a vast number of particles is the computational bottleneck for the particle filter in applications where the observation information is rich. For fast computing the likelihood of particles, a numerical fitting…
Large imaging surveys will rely on photometric redshifts (photo-z's), which are typically estimated through machine learning methods. Currently planned spectroscopic surveys will not be deep enough to produce a representative training…
In this paper, we address the problem of approximating a multivariate function defined on a general domain in $d$ dimensions from sample points. We consider weighted least-squares approximation in an arbitrary finite-dimensional space $P$…
