Burak Ulaş (Konkoly Observatory): A Deep Learning Neural Network Algorithm 
for the Classification of Eclipsing Binary Light Curves 

Abstract: 
Machine learning techniques strengthen their solid ground in various areas 
from art to science every passing day. In the present, countless machine 
learning applications let scientists achieve faster and more precise results 
in many areas such as astrophysics where the researchers already made efforts 
to detect, fit, and classify the light curves of binary systems using machine 
and deep learning algorithms. In this talk, I present an image classification 
algorithm using deep learning convolutional neural network architecture, 
which classifies the morphologies of eclipsing binary systems based on their 
light curves. The algorithm trains the machine with light curve images 
generated from the observational data of eclipsing binary stars in contact, 
detached and semi-detached morphologies, whose light curves are provided by 
several catalogs. I give some details on the structure of the architecture 
and discuss the parameters of the network layers and the quality of the 
resulting metrics. I also plan to discourse upon an extended learning model 
to estimate the light curve parameters beside geometrical configuration. 

The seminar will be held live in the Detre hall with audience, but also 
streamed online via Zoom. If you are unable to attend the presentation in 
person, you can join us via this link
