DART-Vetter distinguishes planetary candidates from false positives detected in any transiting survey, and is tailored for photometric data collected from space-based missions. The Convolutional Neural Network is trained on Kepler and TESS Threshold Crossing Events (TCEs), and processes only light curves folded on the period of the relative signal. DART-Vetter has a simple and compact architecture; it is lightweight enough to be executed on personal laptops.
