DELOS: Contrastive Deep Learning for Low-SNR Blind Transit Searches in Kepler Photometry
Read the original on arXiv AI →DELOS is a deep‑learning framework that uses contrastive scoring to perform blind searches for shallow transits in Kepler photometry. It combines GPU‑accelerated phase folding, optimized phase binning, and a custom one‑dimensional convolutional encoder to produce a transit‑likeness score periodogram without relying on pre‑detected events. In tests on synthetic data and controlled injection‑recovery experiments, DELOS outperforms traditional methods (BLS and TLS) in precision‑recall and speed, and successfully recovers all known shallow intermediate‑to‑long‑period transit signals in a selected Kepler sample.
