  text: 'The second mission of NASA’s Kepler satellite, K2, has collected hundreds
    of thousands of lightcurves for stars close to the ecliptic plane. This new sample
    could increase the number of known pulsating stars and then improve our understanding
    of those stars. For the moment only a few stars have been properly classified
    and published. In this work, we present a method to automaticly classify K2 pulsating
    stars using a Machine Learning technique called Random Forest. The objective is
    to sort out the stars in four classes: red giant (RG), main-sequence Solar-like
    stars (SL), classical pulsators (PULS) and Other. To do this we use the effective
    temperatures and the luminosities of the stars as well as the FliPer features,
    that measures the amount of power contained in the power spectral density. The
    classifier now retrieves the right classification for more than 80% of the stars.'
