BEIJING, May 28 (Xinhua) — Chinese scientists have developed an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) model “FLARE” to predict stellar flares, opening up new horizons for astronomical research, the Institute of Automation under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) said Tuesday.
The model, created jointly by researchers from the above-mentioned institute and the State Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences, uses the integrated ScienceOne intelligent platform to analyze stellar data and predict magnetic eruptions on stars.
According to Chen Yingying, a leading researcher at the Institute of Automation at the CAS, stellar flares are sudden bursts of energy caused by the release of magnetic fields in the atmospheres of stars. They contain key clues to understanding the structure of stars, their evolution, magnetic activity, and the habitability potential of exoplanets.
“The studies have shown that various physical properties of stars, such as age, rotation speed and mass, as well as the history of previous outbursts, are closely related to the occurrence of stellar outbursts,” Chen Yingying said.
However, limited observational data have hindered comprehensive studies. Accurately predicting the timing of stellar outbursts has become an important task in astronomical research, Chen Yingying emphasized.
FLARE bridges this gap with a unique architecture that integrates the physical properties of stars with their flare history.
A research paper describing the development of “FLARE” was accepted at the 34th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence /IJCAI/, one of the most prestigious global events in the field of AI. -0-
