RUN Pipeline: Strong lens classification and detection of small Einstein radius systems
The RUN Pipeline trains, evaluates, and tests two convolutional neural network models used to detect strong lensing in images. The code first classifies strong lenses from non-lenses with a ResNet model, and further detects the locations of small Einstein radius systems in cutout images down to θ_E∼0.03″ with a U-Net model. After both models are trained, the software analyzes the performance of the pipeline on validation and testing data.
