Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment Fast Radio Burst project (CHIME/FRB) has begun detecting FRBs at an unprecedented rate. This allows for the first time the study of FRB properties in a large, coherent population. However, the CHIME/FRB detection pipeline is subject to many subtle selection effects. Thus, the detection sample from CHIME/FRB is not representative of the true FRB population. In order to correct for the biases introduced during CHIME/FRB event detection, a synthetic pulse injection system was developed which allows for the injection of a large population of simulated FRBs into the live telescope datastream. By injecting pulses drawn from a realistic FRB population, the detection signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of synthetic pulses could be compared across pulse input parameters. Injected pulses were calibrated to physical energy units (Jy ms) in real time, and the pulse position in the telescope field-of-view was simulated, providing an authentic representation of detecting real FRBs on the sky. The final set of injections and corresponding detections will be reweighted such that the output distribution matches what has actually been observed by CHIME/FRB. This will begin to correct for the telescope's selection effects

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
