AstroClassification and Redshifts Augmented Dataset

This dataset was used in the fine-tuning with targeted augmentations step for the AstroClassification and Redshifts tasks introduced in Connect Later: Improving Fine-tuning for Robustness with Targeted Augmentations. This is a dataset of simulated astronomical time-series (e.g., supernovae, active galactic nuclei) augmented with the redshifting targeted augmentation, and the task is to classify the object type (AstroClassification) or predict the object's redshift (Redshifts).

Dataset Loading

The load_dataset HuggingFace dataset loading syntax will use the custom dataset loading script included in this repository to load this dataset in the expected format for pretraining with the run_finetuning.sh script in the Connect Later repository.
