Self-Supervised ConvLSTM for Fermi Large Area Telescope Transient Detection
Researchers have developed a self-supervised Convolutional Long Short-Term Memory (ConvLSTM) network to detect transient gamma-ray phenomena using data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope. The framework combines end-to-end simulations of the Fermi-LAT sky with deep learning to identify departures from expected sky behavior. This approach aims to flag localized, time-dependent excesses that could indicate variable sources or transient astrophysical events. AI
