Deep Learning algorithms are currently widely used in astronomy for providing accurate predictions in classification problems, and more specifically to the search for planets outside the Solar System, called “exoplanets” (e.g., [16] and references therein). For instance, NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has already observed 76% o...
