系外行星以及變星的分類是太空科學當中相當重要的一份工作。在此文章中，我們試著用機器學習的方法去分類系外行星以及變星。我們在此文章中所使用的是CoRoT太空望遠鏡資料庫。這些資料在未進行處理之前是很難讓機器學習去做辨認的，所以資料處理也是此文章中相當重要的一份工作。
模型的穩定度以及機器學習的結果將呈現在文章的後半部。下一步我們用Mandel & Agol (2002）[5]和Bhardwaj.A et al (2016）[1]構築理論光曲線以計算其與凌星光曲線的誤差以及和變星光曲線的誤差。最後我們在此資料庫中成功找到5個後變星以及8個候選行星。

Classification of exoplanets and variable stars has been a vital work in space science. In this work, we try to classify exoplanets and variable stars simultaneously by using machine learning methods. The data we focused in this work is from CoRoT space mission. The data from CoRoT isn’t easy for the machine learning to classify, so data analyzing is also important in our work. The stability and the results of our models are presented as well. Next, we will construct the theoretical light curves by Mandel&Agol(2002）[5] and Bhardwaj.A et al(2016）[2] in order to calculate the errors between theoretical light curves and observational light curves. Finally, we found five possible variable stars and eight possible exoplanets from our CoRoT dataset.
