Outlier Detection in the DESI Bright Galaxy Survey
We present an unsupervised search for outliers in the Bright Galaxy Survey (BGS) data set from the DESI Early Data Release. This analysis utilizes an autoencoder to compress galaxy spectra into a compact, redshift-invariant latent space, and a normalizing flow to identify low-probability objects. Th...
