Deep generative modeling of astronomical transient light curves

Documentation Status

About

ParSNIP learns a generative model of transients from a large dataset of transient light curves. This code has many applications including classification of transients, cosmological distance estimation, and identifying novel transients. A full description of the algorithms in this code can be found in Boone 2021 (submitted to ApJ).
