• Title: Temporal Stamp Classifier: Classifying Short Sequences of Astronomical Alerts
• Authors: Daniel Neira O., Pablo A. Estévez, Francisco Förster,
• Abstract summary: We propose a deep learning-based classification model of astronomical objects using alerts reported by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) survey. The model takes as inputs sequences of stamp images and metadata contained in each alert, as well as features from the All-WISE catalog. The proposed model is able to discriminate between three classes of astronomical objects, with an accuracy of approximately 98% in the test set.

• Abstract: In this work, we propose a deep learning-based classification model of astronomical objects using alerts reported by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) survey. The model takes as inputs sequences of stamp images and metadata contained in each alert, as well as features from the All-WISE catalog. The proposed model, called temporal stamp classifier, is able to discriminate between three classes of astronomical objects: Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), Super-Novae (SNe) and Variable Stars (VS), with an accuracy of approximately 98% in the test set, when using 2 to 5 detections. The results show that the model performance improves with the addition of more detections. Simple recurrence models obtain competitive results with those of more complex models such as LSTM.We also propose changes to the original stamp classifier model, which only uses the first detection. The performance of the latter model improves with changes in the architecture and the addition of random rotations, achieving a 1.46% increase in test accuracy.

  We present a novel deep learning framework for classifying light curves using a weakly supervised object detection model. Our framework identifies the optimal windows for both light curves and power spectra automatically, and zooms in on their corresponding data. We train our model on datasets obtained from both space-based and ground-based multi-band observations of variable stars and transients.

  supernovae (SNe) are relatively uncommon objects compared to other classes of variable events. processing of multi-band light-curves is a challenging task due to the highly irregular cadence, long time gaps, missing-values, low number of observations. We propose a Deep Attention model called TimeModAttn to classify multi-band light-curves of different SN types. Second, we propose a model for the synthetic generation of SN multi-band light-curves based on the Supernova Parametric Model (SPM)

  We propose a model that is accurate, robust, efficient, generalizable, and end-to-end trainable. In order to achieve a better accuracy, we propose two lightweight modules. DQInit dynamically initializes the queries of decoder from the inputs, enabling the model to achieve as good accuracy as the ones with multiple decoder layers. QAMem is designed to enhance the discriminative ability of queries on low-resolution feature maps by assigning separate memory values to each query rather than a shared one.
