Classification of Periodic Variable Stars with Novel Cyclic-Permutation Invariant Neural Networks

Keming Zhang, Joshua S. Bloom

Neural networks (NNs) have been shown to be competitive against state-of-the-art feature engineering and random forest (RF) classification of periodic variable stars. Although prev…

Automating Inference of Binary Microlensing Events with Neural Density Estimation

Keming Zhang, Joshua S. Bloom, B. Scott Gaudi +3

Automated inference of binary microlensing events with traditional sampling-based algorithms such as MCMC has been hampered by the slowness of the physical forward model and the pa…

On Neural Architectures for Astronomical Time-series Classification with Application to Variable Stars

Sara Jamal, Joshua S. Bloom

Despite the utility of neural networks (NNs) for astronomical time-series classification, the proliferation of learning architectures applied to diverse datasets has thus far hampe…
