Description
Due to the availability of high-performance computers and the data release from big-scale sky survey projects, the machine learning has been employed in many fields in astronomy. We have developed a numerical procedure of machine learning to search for transiting exoplanets from several survey data. Our procedure employs the convolutional neural network of deep learning techniques. In addition, another commonly-used machine learning algorithm, random forest, is also used. The details of the procedures and the results will be presented.
