KiDS DR4 high quality strong lens candidates

We present 268 high quality strong lens candidates found in the whole 1347 tiles of KiDS, these include 89 LinKS samples from P+19 (Petrillo et al. 2019), 82 samples from L+20 (Li et al. 2020) and 97 sample from Li+21 (Li et al. 2021). These lenses are identified from pre-selected predictive data (luminous red galaxies, LRGs; and Bright galaxies, BGs)from KiDS with different machine learning classifiers.
