AI & ML Projects

  • CNNs for Mass Estimation of X-Rays Clusters
    Employed Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to estimate Galaxy cluster masses from simulated X-ray images and redshift data of clusters. The redshift data was concatenated to the convoluted and flattened image data before being fed to the fully connected network. Code avaliable here.

  • Emergent Weight Morphologies in Deep Neural Networks
    Investigated the emergent structural patterns in neural network weights that arise independently of the training data. Also examined how these structural patterns change with alterations in hyperparameters and training strategies. Relevant Paper avaliable here

  • Neural Networks for Quantum Many-Body Physics
    Implemented a Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM) ansatz within a Monte Carlo framework to approximate the ground state of a Rydberg atom Hamiltonian. Utilised the expressive capacity of RBMs to represent many-body wavefunctions and employed stochastic gradient optimisation to minimise the variational energy.

  • Simulation-Based Inference for Bayesian Cosmological Data Analysis
    Developed a simulation-based inference framework using autoencoder compression and normalising flows to recover cosmological parameters from Gaussian random fields. Benchmarked learned posteriors against analytic Fourier-space likelihoods, identifying effects of compression loss and autoencoder overfitting.
