Lux: Generative latent-variable modeling of astronomical data
Lux models astronomical data with noisy labels using a multi-output, latent-variable framework. It simultaneously infers latent parameters and predicts multiple observed properties while accounting for measurement uncertainties and label noise. The code generates synthetic observations for model validation and supports probabilistic analyses of stellar and galactic datasets. Lux enables flexible model training and evaluation and handles heterogeneous datasets efficiently.

Korg: 1D local thermodynamic equilibrium stellar spectral synthesis
Korg computes stellar spectra from 1D model atmospheres and linelists assuming local thermodynamic equilibrium and implements both plane-parallel and spherical radiative transfer. The code is generally faster than other codes, and is compatible with automatic differentiation libraries and easily extensible, making it ideal for statistical inference and parameter estimation applied to large data sets.

SSSpaNG: Stellar Spectra as Sparse Non-Gaussian Processes
SSSpaNG is a data-driven Gaussian Process model of the spectra of APOGEE red clump stars, whose parameters are inferred using Gibbs sampling. By pooling information between stars to infer their covariance it permits clear identification of the correlations between spectral pixels. Harnessing this correlation structure, a complete spectrum for each red clump star can be inferred, inpainting missing regions and de-noising by a factor of at least 2-3 for low-signal-to-noise stars.
