LUMA: A CNN for strong gravitational lens searches in astronomical imaging
We present LUMA, a convolutional neural network (CNN) pipeline for the automated detection of strong gravitational lenses in simulated astronomical imaging. The method combines a physically motivated preprocessing stage, which enhances faint arc and ring features, with a compact three-block CNN trained using class rewe...
