Large-scale photometric surveys are revolutionizing astronomy by delivering unprecedented amounts of data. The rich data sets from missions such as the NASA Kepler and TESS satellites, and the upcoming ESA PLATO mission, are a treasure trove for stellar variability, asteroseismology and exoplanet studies. In order to unlock the full scientific potential of these massive data sets, automated data-driven methods are needed. In this review, I illustrate how machine learning is bringing asteroseismology toward an era of automated scientific discovery, covering the full cycle from data cleaning to variability classification and parameter inference, while highlighting the recent advances in representation learning, multimodal datasets and foundation models. This invited review offers a guide to the challenges and opportunities machine learning brings for stellar variability research and how it could help unlock new frontiers in time-domain astronomy.

  1. You're Gonna Need a Bigger Core: Calibrating Massive Star Models against Galactic OB-type Stars

    astro-ph.SR 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0

    Galactic OB-star HR-diagram data imply a constant core overshoot α_ov ≈ 0.33 for 12–40 M_sun, yielding larger helium cores than standard prescriptions.
