Exoplanet hunting in deep space is done by tracking a star over several months or years, to observe if there is a regular 'dimming' of the flux (the light intensity). This is light dimming, is evidence that there may be an orbiting body around the star, such as a planet. This star could be considered to be a 'candidate' system for further depth observations, for example by a satellite that captures light at a different wavelength, could solidify the belief that the candidate can in fact be 'confirmed'. Using a machine learning model is probably the only logical method of making this tedious task possible.
