A deep learning framework for jointly extracting spectra and source-count distributions in astronomy

2024-01-06 · Florian Wolf, Florian List, Nicholas L. Rodd, Oliver Hahn

Astronomical observations typically provide three-dimensional maps, encoding the distribution of the observed flux in (1) the two angles of the celestial sphere and (2) energy/frequency. An important task regarding such maps is to statistically characterize populations of point sources too dim to be individually detected. As the properties of a single dim source will be poorly constrained, instead one commonly studies the population as a whole, inferring a source-count distribution (SCD) that describes the number density of sources as a function of their brightness. Statistical and machine learning methods for recovering SCDs exist; however, they typically entirely neglect spectral information associated with the energy distribution of the flux. We present a deep learning framework able to jointly reconstruct the spectra of different emission components and the SCD of point-source populations. In a proof-of-concept example, we show that our method accurately extracts even complex-shaped spectra and SCDs from simulated maps.

Koopman Spectral Analysis from Noisy Measurements based on Bayesian Learning and Kalman Smoothing

2024-10-01 · Zhexuan Zeng, Jun Zhou, Yasen Wang, Zuowei Ping

Koopman spectral analysis plays a crucial role in understanding and modeling nonlinear dynamical systems as it reveals key system behaviors and long-term dynamics. However, the presence of measurement noise poses a signi…

Inverse Bayesian Inference for Extracting Lesion Dynamics from Longitudinal Spectral CT

2026-07-25 · Lukas Förner, Melina Wördehoff, Julian Steffens, Maximilian Schmutz 외 arxiv

Longitudinal medical imaging captures temporal evolution of lesions, yet extracting the underlying dynamical parameters governing this evolution remains challenging. We propose an inverse Bayesian framework for inferring…

Adaptive Band Selection for Hyperspectral Classification with Spatially Disjoint Evaluation

2026-06-04 · Ikram El-Hajri, Ouassim Karrakchou, Alejandro Mousist arxiv

Hyperspectral band selection methods based on differentiable selectors can be sensitive to initialization and to extracting a final discrete subset, while prescribed band counts limit flexibility. We propose SGBR-HC (Spe…

Predictive Spectral Calibration for Source-Free Test-Time Regression

2026-03-10 · Nguyen Viet Tuan Kiet, Huynh Thanh Trung, Pham Huy Hieu arxiv

Test-time adaptation (TTA) for image regression has received far less attention than its classification counterpart. Methods designed for classification often depend on classification-specific objectives and decision bou…
