Yashar Hezaveh: Mapping distant galaxies with artificial intelligence

We are in the midst of a revolution in computing, with "machine learning" algorithms solving problems for which major progress was thought to be decades away. As a result, computers can now exceed human performance at tasks such as recognizing patterns in images, playing complex games such as Go, and even driving cars.

Découverte 2013 No 3: Yashar Hezaveh

En regardant des galaxies très lointaines dont la lumière est amplifiée par un effet gravitationnel, l'équipe dont Yashar Hezaveh fait partie a démontré que les premières étoiles sont nées 1 milliard d'année plus tôt que ce qu'on croyait.

Mapping Dark Matter with Bayesian Neural Networks w/ Yashar Hezaveh - TWiML Talk #250

You might have seen the news yesterday that MIT researcher Katie Bouman produced the first image of a black hole. What’s been less reported is that the algorithm she developed to accomplish this is based on machine learning. Machine learning is having a huge impact in the fields of astronomy and astrophysics, and I’m excited to bring you interviews with some of the people innovating in this area.
