摘要:

我们介绍了一种新的基于机器学习的技术,使用凌日方法来检测系外行星。机器学习和深度学习技术已被证明广泛适用于各种科学研究领域。我们的目标是利用这些方法,以改善传统的算法为基础的方法,目前在天体物理学检测系外行星。使用时间序列分析库TSFresh来分析光变曲线,我们从每条曲线中提取了789个特征,这些特征捕获了光变曲线的特征信息。然后,我们使用这些功能训练梯度提升分类器使用机器学习工具lightgbm。通过对模拟数据的测试,表明该方法比传统的箱最小二乘拟合(BLS)方法更有效。我们进一步发现,我们的方法产生的结果与现有的最先进的深度学习模型相当,同时计算效率更高,并且不需要光变曲线的折叠和二次视图。对于开普勒数据,该方法能够预测AUC为0.948的行星,因此94.8%的真实行星信号的排名高于非行星信号。结果召回率为0.96,因此96%的真实行星被归类为行星。对于凌日系外行星勘测卫星(TESS)数据,我们发现我们的方法可以以0.98的精度分类光变曲线,并且能够以0.63的精度识别召回率为0.82的行星。

英文摘要:

We introduce a new machine learning based technique to detect exoplanets using the transit method. Machine learning and deep learning techniques have proven to be broadly applicable in various scientific research areas. We aim to exploit some of these methods to improve the conventional algorithm based approaches presently used in astrophysics to detect exoplanets. Using the time-series analysis library TSFresh to analyse light curves, we extracted 789 features from each curve, which capture the information about the characteristics of a light curve. We then used these features to train a gradient boosting classifier using the machine learning tool lightgbm. This approach was tested on simulated data, which showed that is more effective than the conventional box least squares fitting (BLS) method. We further found that our method produced comparable results to existing state-of-the-art deep learning models, while being much more computationally efficient and without needing folded and secondary views of the light curves. For Kepler data, the method is able to predict a planet with an AUC of 0.948, so that 94.8 per cent of the true planet signals are ranked higher than non-planet signals. The resulting recall is 0.96, so that 96 per cent of real planets are classified as planets. For the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) data, we found our method can classify light curves with an accuracy of 0.98, and is able to identify planets with a recall of 0.82 at a precision of 0.63.
