Transformer-based TDE Classifier for WFST
Analysis
Key Takeaways
- •Proposes a Transformer-based classifier (TTC) for identifying Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) from light curves.
- •Utilizes a Transformer network ( exttt{Mgformer}) for improved performance and flexibility.
- •Designed for the Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST) and can operate on real-time and archival data.
- •Demonstrates successful identification of known TDEs and selection of potential candidates.
- •Offers a trade-off between performance and speed through modular design.
“The exttt{Mgformer}-based module is superior in performance and flexibility. Its representative recall and precision values are 0.79 and 0.76, respectively, and can be modified by adjusting the threshold.”
