• Abstract summary: Current automated methods for analyzing spectra are either (a) data-driven, which requires prior knowledge of stellar parameters and elemental abundances, or (b) based on theoretical synthetic models that are susceptible to the gap between theory and practice. We present a hybrid generative domain adaptation method that turns simulated stellar spectra into realistic spectra by applying unsupervised learning to large spectroscopic surveys.

• Abstract: The advancements in stellar spectroscopy data acquisition have made it necessary to accomplish similar improvements in efficient data analysis techniques. Current automated methods for analyzing spectra are either (a) data-driven, which requires prior knowledge of stellar parameters and elemental abundances, or (b) based on theoretical synthetic models that are susceptible to the gap between theory and practice. In this study, we present a hybrid generative domain adaptation method that turns simulated stellar spectra into realistic spectra by applying unsupervised learning to large spectroscopic surveys. We apply our technique to the APOGEE H-band spectra at R=22,500 and the Kurucz synthetic models. As a proof of concept, two case studies are presented. The first of which is the calibration of synthetic data to become consistent with observations. To accomplish this, synthetic models are morphed into spectra that resemble observations, thereby reducing the gap between theory and observations. Fitting the observed spectra shows an improved average reduced $\chi_R^2$ from 1.97 to 1.22, along with a reduced mean residual from 0.16 to -0.01 in normalized flux. The second case study is the identification of the elemental source of missing spectral lines in the synthetic modelling. A mock dataset is used to show that absorption lines can be recovered when they are absent in one of the domains. This method can be applied to other fields, which use large data sets and are currently limited by modelling accuracy. The code used in this study is made publicly available on github.

  We present GRASP, a novel graph generative model based on 1) the spectral decomposition of the graph Laplacian matrix and 2) a diffusion process. Specifically, we propose to use a denoising model to sample eigenvectors and eigenvalues from which we can reconstruct the graph Laplacian and adjacency matrix. Our permutation invariant model can also handle node features by concatenating them to the eigenvectors of each node.

We show that training a CNN on these generated data points improves the performance on datasets where the annotations do not bear the same correlation as the dataset that was used for model training.

  gradient-based explanation algorithms provide perceptually-aligned explanations. We show that the more a feature attribution is aligned with the tangent space of the data, the more perceptually-aligned it tends to be. We suggest that explanation algorithms should actively strive to align their explanations with the data manifold.
