摘要: 针对目前从海量的快速射电暴(Fast Radio Burst, FRB)候选体中人工筛选FRB事件难以为继的现状, 提出了一种基于卷积神经网络(Convolutional Neural Networks, CNN)的FRB候选体分类方法. 首先, 通过真实的观测数据和仿真FRB组成训练和测试样本集. 其次, 建立了二输入的深度卷积神经网络模型, 并对其进行训练、测试和优化, 获取FRB候选体分类器. 最后, 利用来自脉冲星的单脉冲数据对该分类器的有效性和性能进行了验证. 实验结果表明, 该方法可以快速从大量候选体中准确识别出单脉冲事件, 极大地提高了FRB候选体的处理速率和效率.Abstract: Manually identifying fast radio burst (FRB) events from the massive candidates by a human is a laborious and time-consuming task. It's an unsustainable working mode for the constantly growing volume of observation data. In this paper, we present a method of FRB candidates classification based on convolutional neural networks (CNN). First, we build training and test sets with real observation data and simulated FRBs. Second, a two-input deep convolutional neural network model is constructed, trained and optimized, and the FRB candidate classifier is obtained. Then, the effectiveness and performance of the classifier are tested and verified by using single pulses from pulsar. Experiment results show that this method can quickly and accurately identify single pulse events from candidates, which greatly improves the processing speed and efficiency of FRB candidates.
