Variable Star Classification Using Multi-View Metric Learning [IMA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1911.05821


Our multi-view metric learning framework enables robust characterization of star categories by directly learning to discriminate in a multi-faceted feature space, thus, eliminating the need to combine feature representations prior to fitting the machine learning model. We also demonstrate how to extend standard multi-view learning, which employs multiple vectorized views, to the matrix-variate case which allows very novel variable star signature representations. The performance of our proposed methods is evaluated on the UCR Starlight and LINEAR datasets. Both the vector and matrix-variate versions of our multi-view learning framework perform favorably — demonstrating the ability to discriminate variable star categories.
