Astroconformer: The Prospects of Analyzing Stellar Light Curves with Transformer-Based Deep Learning Models

1 code implementation28 Sep 2023 Jia-Shu Pan, Yuan-Sen Ting, Jie Yu

Notably, the error remains under 3% for 30-day light curves, whose oscillations are undetectable by a conventional pipeline in 30% cases.

Adversarial Fine-Tuning of Language Models: An Iterative Optimisation Approach for the Generation and Detection of Problematic Content

no code implementations26 Aug 2023 Charles O'Neill, Jack Miller, Ioana Ciuca, Yuan-Sen Ting, Thang Bui

The performance of our approach is evaluated through classification accuracy on a dataset consisting of problematic prompts not detected by GPT-4, as well as a selection of contentious but unproblematic prompts.

Steering Language Generation: Harnessing Contrastive Expert Guidance and Negative Prompting for Coherent and Diverse Synthetic Data Generation

no code implementations15 Aug 2023 Charles O'Neill, Yuan-Sen Ting, Ioana Ciuca, Jack Miller, Thang Bui

Large Language Models (LLMs) hold immense potential to generate synthetic data of high quality and utility, which has numerous applications from downstream model training to practical data utilisation.

Uncertainty-Aware Learning for Improvements in Image Quality of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope

no code implementations30 Jun 2021 Sankalp Gilda, Stark C. Draper, Sebastien Fabbro, William Mahoney, Simon Prunet, Kanoa Withington, Matthew Wilson, Yuan-Sen Ting, Andrew Sheinis

We leverage epistemic and aleatoric uncertainties in conjunction with probabilistic generative modeling to identify candidate vent adjustments that are in-distribution (ID); for the optimal configuration for each ID sample, we predict the reduction in required observing time to achieve a fixed SNR.

How Many Elements Matter?

no code implementations9 Feb 2021 Yuan-Sen Ting, David H. Weinberg

Our results demonstrate that cross-element correlations are a much more sensitive probe of hidden structure than dispersion, and they can be measured precisely in a large sample even if star-by-star measurement noise is comparable to the intrinsic scatter.

The non-monotonic, strong metallicity dependence of the wide-binary fraction

no code implementations6 Oct 2020 Hsiang-Chih Hwang, Yuan-Sen Ting, Kevin C. Schlaufman, Nadia L. Zakamska, Rosemary F. G. Wyse

The negative metallicity correlation at [Fe/H]$>0$ can be inherited from the similar metallicity dependence of close binaries, and radial migration may play a role in enhancing the wide-binary fraction around the solar metallicity.

A Diffuse Metal-Poor Component of the Sagittarius Stream Revealed by the H3 Survey

no code implementations28 Jul 2020 Benjamin D. Johnson, Charlie Conroy, Rohan P. Naidu, Ana Bonaca, Dennis Zaritsky, Yuan-Sen Ting, Phillip A. Cargile, Jiwon Jesse Han, Joshua S. Speagle

We speculate that this kinematically diffuse, low metallicity, population is the stellar halo of the Sagittarius progenitor system.

Interpreting Stellar Spectra with Unsupervised Domain Adaptation

no code implementations6 Jul 2020 Teaghan O'Briain, Yuan-Sen Ting, Sébastien Fabbro, Kwang M. Yi, Kim Venn, Spencer Bialek

We discuss how to achieve mapping from large sets of imperfect simulations and observational data with unsupervised domain adaptation.

Cycle-StarNet: Bridging the gap between theory and data by leveraging large datasets

1 code implementation6 Jul 2020 Teaghan O'Briain, Yuan-Sen Ting, Sébastien Fabbro, Kwang M. Yi, Kim Venn, Spencer Bialek

To accomplish this, synthetic models are morphed into spectra that resemble observations, thereby reducing the gap between theory and observations.

The Payne: self-consistent ab initio fitting of stellar spectra

2 code implementations4 Apr 2018 Yuan-Sen Ting, Charlie Conroy, Hans-Walter Rix, Phillip Cargile

We present The Payne, a general method for the precise and simultaneous determination of numerous stellar labels from observed spectra, based on fitting physical spectral models.
