BEACON

BEACON (Bayesian Event Assessment for Conjunction Observation and Notification) is a reproducible research project for calibrated, uncertainty-aware satellite conjunction triage using public CDM data.

BEACON is a research prototype only, not an operational system.

Current development version: v0.3.0-rc1. The latest archived reproducible artifact is v0.2.2; v0.3.0-rc1 is a release candidate and does not yet have a final Zenodo version DOI.

Research Focus

BEACON evaluates rare-event ranking, probability calibration, uncertainty-aware human review, repeated split robustness, current-risk feature ablation, leakage-safe evaluation, and interactive visual analytics for model-grounded triage inspection.

Reproducibility

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
python src/run_all.py
python -m pytest -q
