Each flux branch uses 2 convolutional blocks with 3 conv layers each (8→16 filters), batch normalization, and max pooling. Branches are fused and fed through a 4-layer fully-connected classifier head.

Usage

python

import torch
import numpy as np
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
from safetensors.torch import load_file

# 1. Download and load model
model_path = hf_hub_download("sarojpatil16/exoplanet-transit-detector", "model.safetensors")

# 2. Recreate architecture (copy from this model card or train.py)
# ... (see model architecture code below) ...
# model = AstroNetCNN(n_scalars=9, num_classes=3)
# model.load_state_dict(load_file(model_path))
# model.eval()

# 3. Prepare inputs from light curve data
# flux_global: (1, 201) - phase-folded full light curve, median-subtracted & MAD-normalized
# flux_local:  (1, 81)  - zoomed transit view
# flux_odd:    (1, 201) - odd-numbered transits
# flux_even:   (1, 201) - even-numbered transits
# scalars:     (1, 9)   - [period_days, duration_hrs, depth_ppm, teff, logg, radius, mass, metallicity, kepmag]
#                          (period, duration, depth are log1p-transformed)

# 4. Predict
# with torch.no_grad():
#     output = model(flux_global, flux_local, flux_odd, flux_even, scalars)
#     probabilities = torch.softmax(output.logits, dim=-1)
#     pred_class = torch.argmax(output.logits, dim=-1)
#     # 0=PLANET, 1=FALSE_POSITIVE, 2=NO_SIGNAL

Label Mapping

Class ID	Label	Description
0	PLANET	Confirmed or candidate exoplanet transit
1	FALSE_POSITIVE	Signal is not a planet (eclipsing binary, stellar variability, etc.)
2	NO_SIGNAL	No significant transit signal detected
