FLARE

Photometric triage for optical transients: six classes, a calibrated prediction set, and a probability that the object belongs to none of them.

Production proposal. Every number on this page is a genuine output of the shipped models on real ZTF objects — including one the detector misses. What a live deployment would add is throughput, not different numbers.

How to read it. The prediction set is the operational output, not the argmax: it is calibrated so that it contains the true class 90% of the time, and the 10% it admits is stated rather than hidden. A set with two classes is the model declining to choose, which is the correct hand-off to spectroscopy. The anomaly probability is separate machinery — scored in its own representation, calibrated against the benchmark's out-of-taxonomy objects — and it is quoted with the base rate it assumes, because the same likelihood ratio gives a very different probability in a raw alert stream than in a spectroscopically confirmed sample.
