Reading the Aurora: What Transformer Attention Sees in Auroral Spectra
A 1D Vision Transformer classifies auroral emission spectra, and its attention maps rediscover known emission lines without any physics prior.
A 1D Vision Transformer classifies auroral emission spectra, and its attention maps rediscover known emission lines without any physics prior.
We examine whether Vision Transformer attention can serve as a built-in interpretability mechanism on ordered 1D scientific signals, where physical ground truth enables direct …
Poster on classifying auroral emission spectra with a 1D Vision Transformer, whose attention maps recover known emission lines without spectroscopic priors.
Results of a STAROS monitoring campaign on the bright eclipsing binary star α Draconis. Over 200 high-resolution spectra were obtained by an international group of amateur …
