Summary of the ML and DL methods: Name or architecture, number of trainable parameters, whether one network is trained in the whole dataset or four networks are trained (one for each redshift bin), the size of the image in pixels, the size of the image in kpc, the scaling used in the images, the threshold used for the binary classification task, the kind of data augmentation used during training, any extra data that was used, whether the method performed the multi-class classification task, and a paper reference for the method.

a The threshold was chosen to maximise TPR and minimise FPR

b The threshold was chosen to maximise TPR and TNR, which is the threshold with TPR=TNR
