• Abstract summary: We present the Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) classifier as currently implemented within the Fink broker. Features were built upon summary statistics of available photometric points, as well as color estimation enabled by symbolic regression. Using this method to classify real alerts from the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), we achieved 98.0% accuracy, 93.8% precision and 88.5% recall.

• Abstract: We present the Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) classifier as currently implemented within the Fink broker. Features were built upon summary statistics of available photometric points, as well as color estimation enabled by symbolic regression. The learning stage includes an active learning loop, used to build an optimized training sample from labels reported in astronomical catalogs. Using this method to classify real alerts from the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), we achieved 98.0% accuracy, 93.8% precision and 88.5% recall. We also describe the modifications necessary to enable processing data from the upcoming Vera C. Rubin Observatory Large Survey of Space and Time (LSST), and apply them to the training sample of the Extended LSST Astronomical Time-series Classification Challenge (ELAsTiCC). Results show that our designed feature space enables high performances of traditional machine learning algorithms in this binary classification task.

• Detecting and Classifying Flares in High-Resolution Solar Spectra with Supervised Machine Learning [0.0]
  We present a standardized procedure to classify solar flares with the aid of supervised machine learning. Using flare data from the RHESSI mission and solar spectra from the HARPS-N instrument, we trained several supervised machine learning models. The best-trained model achieves an average aggregate accuracy score of 0.65, and categorical accuracy scores of over 0.70 for the no-flare and weak-flare classes.

• Co-training for Low Resource Scientific Natural Language Inference [65.37685198688538]
  We propose a novel co-training method that assigns weights based on the training dynamics of the classifiers to the distantly supervised labels. By assigning importance weights instead of filtering out examples based on an arbitrary threshold on the predicted confidence, we maximize the usage of automatically labeled data. The proposed method obtains an improvement of 1.5% in Macro F1 over the distant supervision baseline, and substantial improvements over several other strong SSL baselines.

  We present ConST-CL framework to effectively learn-temporally fine-grained representations. We first design a region-based self-supervised task which requires the model to learn to transform instance representations from one view to another guided by context features. We then introduce a simple design that effectively reconciles the simultaneous learning of both holistic and local representations.
