# AstroClassification and Redshifts Augmented Dataset

<!-- Provide a quick summary of the 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.
