This is quite an interesting paper on ArXiv today. Deep Learning trying to emulate George Alcock?

We present Tails, an open-source deep-learning framework for the identification and localization of comets in the image data of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), a robotic optical time-domain survey currently in operation at the Palomar Observatory in California,
USA. Tails employs a custom EfficientDet-based architecture and is capable of finding comets in single images in near real time ...
