 bstract:Galaxy clusters are the most massive collapsed structures in the 
 universe. During cluster formation\, the largest aggregation of gas\, gal
 axies\, and dark matter passes through an intermediate phase called the p
 rotocluster. Over the past decades\, many studies have identified distant
  clusters and protoclusters due to advanced observational strategies. How
 ever\, the protocluster-to-cluster transformation is still unclear\, main
 ly due to the lack of large samples of early-stage clusters and late-stag
 e protoclusters. Our research has identified a large selection of nearly 
 300 galaxy cluster candidates at redshift 1.3 &lt; z &lt; 1.8 (9-10 billion lig
 ht-years away) during the formation epoch of the galaxy clusters. The can
 didates are identified using a sample of Ultra-Luminous Infrared Galaxies
  called the Dust-Obscured Galaxies (DOGs) as signposts in the Spitzer Dee
 p Wide-Field Survey (SDWFS) in Boötes. A two-point correlation function a
 nalysis demonstrates that the sample has a mass scale of the galaxy clust
 ers. Using a more multi-wavelength SDWFS catalog\, this study has also un
 covered a supercluster structure at z = 1.75 (10 billion light-years away
 ). This supercluster is a bound structure hosting dozens of clusters of g
 alaxies\, including the most massive galaxy cluster (IDCS J1426.5+3508) f
 ound to date at z &gt; 1.5. Finally\, we develop and implement a novel machi
 ne learning technique to determine the photometric redshift (photo-z) of 
 the distant galaxies using a TensorFlow-based deep learning network. The 
 results will ultimately be used by a cluster-search project called the Ma
 ssive and Distant Clusters of WISE Survey-II (MaDCoWS-II).

  are the most massive collapsed structures in the universe. During cluste
 r formation\, the largest aggregation of gas\, galaxies\, and dark matter
  passes through an intermediate phase called the protocluster. Over the p
 ast decades\, many studies have identified distant clusters and protoclus
 ters due to advanced observational strategies. However\, the protocluster
 -to-cluster transformation is still unclear\, mainly due to the lack of l
 arge samples of early-stage clusters and late-stage protoclusters. Our re
 search has identified a large selection of nearly 300 galaxy cluster cand
 idates at redshift 1.3 &amp;lt\; z &amp;lt\; 1.8 (9-10 billion light-years away) 
 during the formation epoch of the galaxy clusters. The candidates are ide
 ntified using a sample of Ultra-Luminous Infrared Galaxies called the Dus
 t-Obscured Galaxies (DOGs) as signposts in the Spitzer Deep Wide-Field Su
 rvey (SDWFS) in Boötes. A two-point correlation function analysis demonst
 rates that the sample has a mass scale of the galaxy clusters. Using a mo
 re multi-wavelength SDWFS catalog\, this study has also uncovered a super
 cluster structure at z = 1.75 (10 billion light-years away). This supercl
 uster is a bound structure hosting dozens of clusters of galaxies\, inclu
 ding the most massive galaxy cluster (IDCS J1426.5+3508) found to date at
  z &amp;gt\; 1.5. Finally\, we develop and implement a novel machine learning
  technique to determine the photometric redshift (photo-z) of the distant
  galaxies using a TensorFlow-based deep learning network. The results wil
 l ultimately be used by a cluster-search project called the Massive and D
 istant Clusters of WISE Survey-II (MaDCoWS-II).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;
