Weakly-Supervised Anomaly Detection in the Milky Way 🌌

This is the companion code for https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.03761.

Quickstart

This package uses Python 3.8 and Keras 2.9.

Make sure you have conda installed on your system.

conda env create -n gaia -f requirements.yml # can also use requirements_mac.yml
conda activate gaia
python -m ipykernel install --user --name gaia --display-name "gaia"
jupyter lab

Then, navigate to one of the notebooks in the notebooks folder (making sure to specify gaia as your kernel).

Repository structure
