A single line is … Hα 6563 Å [OIII] 5007 Å Hβ 4861Å [OII] 3727Å A single line is not[SII] 6716Å or Lyα 1216 Å
BRI Evolution with Redshift • Training set: DEEP2 galaxies with • Q=3 or Q=4 • At least one 5σ emission line
Neural Network Kirby et al. 2007 (submitted)
Accuracy and Results Kirby et al. 2007 (submitted)
Conclusions A neural network can pin down single emission lines with BRI magnitudes and colors alone The accuracy exceeds 90% in all four line categories Additional information (angular size, correlation fuction, AEGIS) can help even more
