Using Machine Learning for Real-time Detection of Transiets in OGLE-IV

Real-time detection of transients in OGLE-IV with application of machine learning

Authors:

Klencki et al

Abstract:

The current bottleneck of transient detection in most surveys is the problem of rejecting numerous artifacts from detected candidates. We present a triple-stage hierarchical machine learning system for automated artifact filtering in difference imaging, based on self-organizing maps. The classifier, when tested on the OGLE-IV Transient Detection System, accepts ~ 97 % of real transients while removing up to ~ 97.5 % of artifacts.
