Forthcoming data from the Vera Rubin Observatory, Euclid and Roman telescopes are expected to increase the number of strong lenses by two orders of magnitude. With current discovery methods these would be accompanied by an even greater number of false positives. In that context we find that using an ensemble of classifiers would provide a more complete sample of high-purity lenses and present methods to post-process the outputs of such classifiers to give reliable probabilities that a given image contains a lens.
