Welcome to the light curve approximation project

This is the official repository with the scripts and results of the experiments described in the following paper:

• M. Demianenko, K. Malanchev, E. Samorodova, M. Sysak, A. Shiriaev, D. Derkach, M. Hushchyn. Toward an understanding of the properties of neural network approaches for supernovae light curve approximation, arXiv:2209.07542 (2022). [arxiv]

The light curve approximation methods are implemented in the Fulu python library: https://github.com/HSE-LAMBDA/fulu
