Scientific Classification & Detection

Purpose

Classify scientific objects and detect patterns using established taxonomies and classification schemes.

Key Datasets

• SDSS Stellar Classification (Allanatrix/Astro): 100K objects from SDSS DR17 — Stars, Galaxies, Quasars with photometric features (u, g, r, i, z magnitudes, redshift)
• Social Bias Frames (allenai/social_bias_frames): Allen AI SBIC corpus for detecting implicit social biases in text

Protocol

1. Feature extraction — Identify relevant features for classification task
2. Taxonomy mapping — Map to standard classification scheme
3. Classification — Apply appropriate classifier with confidence scores
4. Validation — Cross-validate against known labeled examples
5. Edge case analysis — Flag ambiguous or borderline cases
