## Abstract

We present an image classification algorithm using deep learning convolutional neural network architecture, which classifies the morphologies of eclipsing binary systems based on their light curves. The algorithm trains the machine with light curve images generated from the observational data of eclipsing binary stars in contact, detached and semi-detached morphologies, whose light curves are provided by Kepler, ASAS and CALEB catalogues. The structure of the architecture is explained, the parameters of the network layers and the resulting metrics are discussed. Our results show that the algorithm, which is selected among 132 neural network architectures, estimates the morphological classes of an independent validation dataset, 705 real data, with an accuracy of 92%.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
