Background rejection in atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes using recurrent convolutional neural networks

Abstract In this work, we present a new, high performance algorithm for background rejection in imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. We build on the already popular machine-learning techniques used in gamma-ray astronomy by the application of the latest techniques in machine learning, namely re...
