INFORMATIK 2022

Workshop on Machine Learning for Astroparticle Physics and Astronomy (ml.astro)
26.09, 14:30–18:30 (Europe/Berlin), ESA Ost 120
Sprache: English

Chair: Tim Ruhe, Universität Dortmund

The development of machine learning algorithms has emerged as a driving force for advancements in astroparticle physics and astronomy. The future of this development can be expected to hold nothing less than groundbreaking scientific discoveries. The involved data analysis tasks, e.g. particle reconstruction and ML-based deconvolution, require a diverse set of algorithms, such as ensemble classifiers, regression, unsupervised learning, imbalanced learning and various types of neural networks. The efficient generation of large amounts of annotated examples in simulations is a key characteristic of the field and of its largest challenges. This interdisciplinary workshop will bring together leading experts from Computer Science, astroparticle physics and astronomy, to present and discuss recent developments at the intersection of these fast evolving fields. The ultimate goal of this workshop is to foster collaborations across multiple disciplines to further advance all fields involved.
