The promise of self-supervised and active learning for Strong Lens discovery: Astronomaly applied to KiDS

Margherita Grespan, Aprajita Verma, Michelle Lochner +3

Strong gravitational lenses (SGLs) are rare systems whose discovery currently relies primarily on supervised machine learning methods trained on large simulated datasets. We presen…
