For BOSS-like lenses, we forecast a contribution of the magnification bias to the GGL signal between the multipole moments, $\ell$, of 100 and 4600 with a cumulative signal-to-noise ratio between 0. 1 and 1. 1 for sources from the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS), between 0. 4 and 2. 0 for sources from the Hyper Suprime-Cam survey (HSC), and between 0. 3 and 2. 8 for ESA Euclid-like source samples.

We then create `organised' randoms, i. e. random galaxy catalogues with spatially variable number densities, mimicking the learnt systematic density modes in the data.

With mock DES-Y1 data we calibrate the impact of photometric redshift and shear calibration uncertainty on the peak-count, marginalising over these uncertainties in our cosmological analysis.

To properly understand the evolution of high-redshift galaxy clusters, both passive and star-forming galaxies have to be considered.

A challenging peculiarity of this ML application is the combination of the noisiness of the input features and the requirements on the accuracy of the inverse regression.

The complementarity of our observables allows for constraints on modified gravity degrees of freedom that are not simultaneously bounded with either probe alone, and up to a factor of three improvement in the $S_8$ constraint in the extended cosmology compared to KiDS alone.

When the systematic uncertainties are considered independently, the intrinsic alignment amplitude is the only degree of freedom that is substantially preferred by the data.
