The point sources in the Bright Source Catalogue of the AKARI Far-Infrared Surveyor (FIS) were classied based on their FIR and mid-IR uxes and colours into young stellar object (YSO) and ex- tragalactic source types using a Quadratic Discriminant Analysis method (QDA) and Support Vector Machines (SVM). The reliability of the selection of YSO candidates is high, and the number of known YSO candidates were increased signicantly, that we demonstrate in the case of the nearby open cluster IC348. Our results show that we can separate galactic and extragalactic AKARI point sources in the multidimensioal space of FIR uxes and colours with high reliability, however, dierentiating among the extragalactic sub-types needs further information.
