Real-bogus classification for the Zwicky Transient Facility using deep learning

Real-bogus classification for the Zwicky Transient Facility using deep learning

ABSTRACT Efficient automated detection of flux-transient, re-occurring flux-variable, and moving objects is increasingly important for large-scale astronomical surveys. We present braai, a convolutional-neural-network, deep-learning real/bogus classifier designed to separate genuine astrophysical events and objects from false positive, or bogus, detections in the data of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), a …
