Imbalance Learning for Variable Star Classification

Zafiirah Hosenie, Robert Lyon, Benjamin Stappers +2

The accurate automated classification of variable stars into their respective sub-types is difficult. Machine learning based solutions often fall foul of the imbalanced learning pr…

Single-pulse classifier for the LOFAR Tied-Array All-sky Survey

D. Michilli, J. W. T. Hessels, R. J. Lyon +7

Searches for millisecond-duration, dispersed single pulses have become a standard tool used during radio pulsar surveys in the last decade. They have enabled the discovery of two n…

Fifty Years of Pulsar Candidate Selection: From simple filters to a new principled real-time classification approach

R. J. Lyon, B. W. Stappers, S. Cooper +2

Improving survey specifications are causing an exponential rise in pulsar candidate numbers and data volumes. We study the candidate filters used to mitigate these problems during…

Hellinger Distance Trees for Imbalanced Streams

R. J. Lyon, J. M. Brooke, J. D. Knowles +1

Classifiers trained on data sets possessing an imbalanced class distribution are known to exhibit poor generalisation performance. This is known as the imbalanced learning problem.…
