Enhancing Fast Radio Transient Detection with Mask R-CNN Image Segmentation

Sergio Belmonte Diaz, Rene P. Breton, Zafiirah Hosenie +1

Traditionally, fast radio transient searches are conducted on dedispersed time series using thresholding techniques based on the statistical properties of the data. However, peaks…

VoluMe -- Authentic 3D Video Calls from Live Gaussian Splat Prediction

Martin de La Gorce, Charlie Hewitt, Tibor Takacs +6

Virtual 3D meetings offer the potential to enhance copresence, increase engagement and thus improve effectiveness of remote meetings compared to standard 2D video calls. However, r…

Hairmony: Fairness-aware hairstyle classification

Givi Meishvili, James Clemoes, Charlie Hewitt +9

We present a method for prediction of a person's hairstyle from a single image. Despite growing use cases in user digitization and enrollment for virtual experiences, available met…

Imbalance Learning for Variable Star Classification

Zafiirah Hosenie, Robert Lyon, Benjamin Stappers +2

The accurate automated classification of variable stars into their respective sub-types is difficult. Machine learning based solutions often fall foul of the imbalanced learning pr…

DeepSource: Point Source Detection using Deep Learning

A. Vafaei Sadr, Etienne. E. Vos, Bruce A. Bassett +3

Point source detection at low signal-to-noise is challenging for astronomical surveys, particularly in radio interferometry images where the noise is correlated. Machine learning i…

Marginal Likelihoods from Monte Carlo Markov Chains

Alan Heavens, Yabebal Fantaye, Arrykrishna Mootoovaloo +4

In this paper, we present a method for computing the marginal likelihood, also known as the model likelihood or Bayesian evidence, from Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), or other sa…

No evidence for extensions to the standard cosmological model

Alan Heavens, Yabebal Fantaye, Elena Sellentin +4

We compute the Bayesian Evidence for models considered in the main analysis of Planck cosmic microwave background data. By utilising carefully-defined nearest-neighbour distances i…
