New deep learning model classifies astronomical transients without human labels

Researchers have developed a novel deep learning framework for classifying astronomical transients as real or bogus without requiring human-labeled data. This method utilizes injected simulated transients and a contaminated survey dataset, employing asymmetric co-teaching to handle varying label noise levels. The framework also incorporates a hybrid uncertainty quantification strategy, combining MC Dropout and deep ensembles, to provide calibrated confidence in its classifications. This approach aims to enable scalable and consistent Real-Bogus classification for time-domain surveys, even with noisy or limited labels. AI
