Abstract
En 中文
We explore the use of random forest and gradient boosting, two powerful tree-based machine learning algorithms, for the detection of cosmic strings in maps of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), through their unique Gott-Kaiser-Stebbins effect on the temperature anisotropies. The information in the maps is compressed into feature vectors before being passed to the learning units. The feature vectors contain various statistical measures of the processed CMB maps that boost cosmic string detectability. Our proposed classifiers, after training, give results similar to or better than claimed detectability levels from other methods for string tension, G mu. They can make 3 sigma detection of strings with G mu greater than or similar to 2.1 x 10(-10) for noise-free, 0.9'-resolution CMB observations. The minimum detectable tension increases to G mu greater than or similar to 3.0 x 10(-8) for a more realistic, CMB S4-like (II) strategy, improving over previous results.
