dc.description.abstract | Although scarce, previous work on the application of machine learning and data mining techniques on large corpora of astronomical data has produced promising results. For example, on the task of detecting so-called Kepler objects of interest (KOIs), a range of different ‘off the shelf’ classifiers has demonstrated outstanding performance. These rather preliminary research efforts motivate further exploration of this data domain. In the present work we focus on the analysis of threshold crossing events (TCEs) extracted from photometric data acquired by the Kepler spacecraft. We show that the task of classifying TCEs as being erected by actual planetary transits as opposed to confounding astrophysical phenomena is significantly more challenging than that of KOI detection, with different classifiers exhibiting vastly different performances. Nevertheless,the best performing classifier type, the random forest, achieved excellent accuracy, correctly predicting in approximately 96% of the cases. Our results and analysis should illuminate further efforts into the development of more sophisticated, automatic techniques, and encourage additional work in the area. | |
