Astronomical Implications of Machine Learning

چکیده
In this project we use supervised learning to develop a classifier for stellar lightcurves to detect whether they demonstrate the existence of exosolar planets. We use various features selection methods; in particular we will be using dynamic time warping to measure the similarity between two temporal sequences.

Anomaly Detection for Astronomical Data
Modern astronomical observatories can produce massive amount of data that are beyond the capability of the researchers to even take a glance. These scientific observations present both great opportunities and challenges for astronomers and machine learning researchers. In this project we address the problem of detecting anomalies/novelties in these large-scale astronomical data sets. Two types ...
متن کاملData Preprocessing on Sequential Data for Improved Astronomical Imaging
Obtaining diffraction limited astronomical images using ground-based telescopes and sensors operating at optical wavelengths is currently not possible due to the effects of atmospheric turbulence. Adaptive optics is a mature technology that attempts to minimise the effects of atmospheric turbulence through wavefront detection and optical path correction in real-time. Our work involves the acqui...
متن کاملApplying the Support Vector Machine Method to Matching IRAS and SDSS Catalogues
This paper presents results of applying a machine learning technique, the Support Vector Machine (SVM), to the astronomical problem of matching the Infra-Red Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) and Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) object catalogues. In this study, the IRAS catalogue has much larger positional uncertainties than those of the SDSS. A model was constructed by applying the supervised lear...
متن کاملStar Classification Under Data Variability: An Emerging Challenge in Astroinformatics
Astroinformatics is an interdisciplinary field of science that applies modern computational tools to the solution of astronomical problems. One relevant subarea is the use of machine learning for analysis of large astronomical repositories and surveys. In this paper we describe a case study based on the classification of variable Cepheid stars using domain adaptation techniques; our study highl...
