abstract = "The asteroidal main belt is crossed by a web of mean motion and
secular resonances that occur when there is a commensurability
between fundamental frequencies of the asteroids and planets.
Traditionally, these objects were identified by visual inspection
of the time evolution of their resonant argument, which is a
combination of orbital elements of the asteroid and the perturbing
planet(s). Since the population of asteroids affected by these
resonances is, in some cases, of the order of several thousand,
this has become a taxing task for a human observer. Recent works
used convolutional neural network (CNN) models to perform such
task automatically. In this work, we compare the outcome of such
models with those of some of the most advanced and publicly
available CNN architectures, like the VGG, Inception, and ResNet.
The performance of such models is first tested and optimized for
overfitting issues, using validation sets and a series of
regularization techniques like data augmentation, dropout, and
batch normalization. The three best-performing models were then
used to predict the labels of larger testing databases containing
thousands of images. The VGG model, with and without
regularizations, proved to be the most efficient method to predict
labels of large datasets. Since the Vera C. Rubin observatory is
likely to discover up to four million new asteroids in the next
few years, the use of these models might become quite valuable to
identify populations of resonant minor bodies.",
