• Abstract summary: In the near future, the Chinese Space Survey telescope (CSST) will provide multiple colors and spectroscopic data for asteroids of apparent magnitude brighter than 25 mag and 23 mag. We apply an algorithm using artificial neural networks (ANNs) to establish a preliminary classification model for asteroid taxonomy. Using the SMASS II spectra and the Bus-Binzel taxonomy system, our ANN classification tool composed of 5 individual ANNs is constructed.

• Abstract: We study the surface composition of asteroids with visible and/or infrared spectroscopy. For example, asteroid taxonomy is based on the spectral features or multiple color indices in visible and near-infrared wavelengths. The composition of asteroids gives key information to understand their origin and evolution. However, we lack compositional information for faint asteroids due to limits of ground-based observational instruments. In the near future, the Chinese Space Survey telescope (CSST) will provide multiple colors and spectroscopic data for asteroids of apparent magnitude brighter than 25 mag and 23 mag, respectively. For the aim of analysis of the CSST spectroscopic data, we applied an algorithm using artificial neural networks (ANNs) to establish a preliminary classification model for asteroid taxonomy according to the design of the survey module of CSST. Using the SMASS II spectra and the Bus-Binzel taxonomy system, our ANN classification tool composed of 5 individual ANNs is constructed, and the accuracy of this classification system is higher than 92 %. As the first application of our ANN tool, 64 spectra of 42 asteroids obtained in 2006 and 2007 by us with the 2.16-m telescope in the Xinglong station (Observatory Code 327) of National Astronomical Observatory of China are analyzed. The predicted labels of these spectra using our ANN tool are found to be reasonable when compared to their known taxonomic labels. Considering the accuracy and stability, our ANN tool can be applied to analyse the CSST asteroid spectra in the future.

  We present a machine learning framework that performs complete BNS inference in just one second without making any approximations.

  We develop DBNets, a tool to quickly infer the mass of allegedly embedded planets from protoplanetary discs. We extensively tested our tool on out-of-distribution data. DBNets can identify inputs strongly outside its training scope returning an uncertainty above a specific threshold. It can be reliably applied only on discs observed with inclinations below approximately 60deg, in the optically thin regime.
