TASKA –A1 : Solar spikes
3 Solar radio spikes •Dedicated to automatically detect solar radio spikes using SpikeNet [Murphy et al, OJA, 2024] SALF XI, Orléans –09/12/2025
4 Detection method : SpikeNet •ML model trained on ~100 000 samples of solar spikes (64 by 64 pixels) •Produced segmentation masks for radio spikes in the validation set and predicted the spike characteristics, i.e. location in time and frequency, duration, spectral width and drift rate •Bursts that are not fully in one tile can not be detected [Murphy et al, OJA, 2024] SALF XI, Orléans –09/12/2025
TASKA – A2 : Jovian S-bursts
6 •Developing an algorithm for real-time detection of fine drifting structures during radio observations with NenuFAR •Use a method originally developed for Jupiter observations with NDA-JunoN data [Mauduit et al, 2023, Nat Coms] The TASKA – A2 Use case SALF XI, Orléans –09/12/2025

Conclusions
17 ➢Important step toward smart data filtering for next generation radiotelescopes such as NenuFAR or SKA. ➢It also paves the way for “analog to information” processing, which would drastically reduce the storage needs. ➢The type of emissions studied in this work require a high time-frequency resolution, but they are embedded within larger slowly-varying emissions that can be studied at a lower resolution. ➢This approach helps optimizing data storage while maintaining its value for scientific analysis, thus preparing for scalable solutions in the SKA era. ➢Code available on GitLab, easy to clone and use with notebook tutorials provided.

18 ➢Develop a CNN for S-bursts based on anomaly detection. ➢Optimize existing algorithms to have better detections ➢Find an even more efficient way to store the outputs. ➢A1 : include multi-scale processing Next steps and perspectives SALF XI, Orléans –09/12/2025
