中文简介:
天文学是机器学习和概率建模的主要用户社区。有非常大的公共数据集(大多数但不完全是数字成像),有许多最重要的现象(恒星,类星体和星系)的简单但有效的模型,并且有非常好的望远镜模型,相机,和探测器。我将通过将概率推理和决策理论引入天文学,详细展示我们能够在天体物理学中解决的一些问题的例子。我将讨论为什么许多“监督”方法在天文学中并不像涉及生成建模的方法那样有用。我希望给观众留下真实的研究问题,解决方案将是(a)通过当代机器学习方法实现,同时(b)在天体物理学界内非常令人兴奋。
课程简介: Astronomy is a prime user community for machine learning and probabilistic modeling. There are very large, public data sets (mostly but not entirely digital imaging), there are simple but effective models of many of the most important phenomena (stars, quasars, and galaxies), and there are very good models of telescopes, cameras, and detectors. I will show in detail some examples of problems we were able to solve in astrophysics by bringing probabilistic inference and decision theory to astronomy. I will discuss why many "supervised" methods are not nearly as useful in astronomy as those that involve generative modeling. I hope to leave the audience with real research problems, the solutions to which would be (a) achievable with contemporary machine-learning methods, and at the same time (b) very exciting within the astrophysics community.
