NexaAstro: Stellar Classification with SDSS Data

NexaAstro - Stellar Classification is a hybrid machine learning model for classifying stars using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). It leverages a two-stage architecture:

CatBoost: Gradient boosting for robust feature modeling.
Feedforward Neural Network (NN): Refines predictions for enhanced accuracy.

This model is part of the Nexa Scientific Model Suite, dedicated to advancing scientific discovery through machine learning.

Model Overview

Task: Multi-class stellar classification (e.g., Main Sequence, White Dwarf, Giant).
Input: SDSS stellar attributes (u, g, r, i, z magnitudes, spectral lines, etc.).
Output: Predicted stellar class label.
Architecture: CatBoost for feature extraction, followed by a Feedforward Neural Network for classification.

Applications

Stellar Population Studies: Analyzing distributions and characteristics of stellar types.
Galaxy Classification Support: Providing stellar data for broader galactic studies.
Astrophysics Education: Enabling interactive learning and research tools.
Feature Engineering: Supporting advanced astronomical machine learning workflows.

Getting Started

Example Usage

python

import joblib
import torch
import numpy as np
from my_nn_model import StellarNN  # Replace with actual neural network module

# Load CatBoost model
catboost_model = joblib.load("Allanatrix/catboost_model.pkl")

# Load PyTorch neural network model
nn_model = StellarNN()
nn_model.load_state_dict(torch.load("Allanatrix/stellar_nn.pt"))
nn_model.eval()

# Example prediction with SDSS features
features = np.array([...])  # SDSS input features (e.g., magnitudes, spectral data)
catboost_out = catboost_model.predict(features)
refined_pred = nn_model(torch.tensor(catboost_out).float())

Refer to the model documentation for detailed preprocessing and input requirements.

Dataset

Source: Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS).
Preprocessing: Data cleaned, normalized, and filtered by magnitude thresholds.
Labels: Discrete stellar class labels derived from expert annotations.
