The PAU Survey & Euclid: Improving broad-band photometric redshifts with multi-task learning
Résumé
Current and future imaging surveys require photometric redshifts (photo-z) to be estimated for millions of galaxies. Improving the photo-z quality is a major challenge to advance our understanding of cosmology. In this paper, we explore how the synergies between narrow-band photometric data and large imaging surveys can be exploited to improve broad-band photometric redshifts. We use a multi-task learning (MTL) network to improve broad-band photo-z estimates by simultaneously predicting the broad-band photo-z and the narrow-band photometry from the broad-band photometry. The narrow-band photometry is only required in the training field, which enables better photo-z predictions also for the galaxies without narrow-band photometry in the wide field. This technique is tested with data from the Physics of the Accelerating Universe Survey (PAUS) in the COSMOS field. We find that the method predicts photo-z that are 14% more precise down to magnitude i_AB<23, while reducing the outlier rate by 40% with respect to the baseline network mapping broad-band colours to only photo-zs. Furthermore, MTL significantly reduces the photo-z bias for high-redshift galaxies, improving the redshift distributions for tomographic bins with z>1. Applying this technique to deeper samples is crucial for future surveys like \Euclid or LSST. For simulated data, training on a sample with i_AB <23, the method reduces the photo-z scatter by 15% for all galaxies with 24
