Thai Duy Quy, Alvin Buana, Josh Lee, Rakha Asyrofi

Hazardous asteroid has been one of the concerns for humankind as fallen asteroid on earth could cost a huge impact on the society.Monitoring these objects could help predict future impact events, but such efforts are hindered by the large numbers of objects that pass in the Earth's vicinity. The aim of this project is to use machine learning and deep learning to accurately classify hazardous asteroids. A total of ten methods which consist of five machine learning algorithms and five deep learning models are trained and evaluated to find the suitable model that solves the issue. We experiment on two datasets, one from Kaggle and one we extracted from a web service called NeoWS which is a RESTful web service from NASA that provides information about near earth asteroids, it updates every day. In overall, the model is tested on two datasets with different features to find the most accurate model to perform the classification.
