Guillermo Cabrera-Vives talks about „The Universe in a stream: brokering alerts with the ALeRCE system" at the Astroinformatics 2018 in Heidelberg.

Abstract of the talk:
With a new generation of large etendue survey telescopes there is a growing need for alert processing systems. This includes real-time processing of the raw data for alert generation, real-time annotation and classification of the alerts, and real-time reaction to interesting alerts using available astronomical resources. We present the Automatic Learning for the Rapid Classification of Events (ALeRCE), an integrated system aiming at the rapid classification of events from time domain surveys for the purpose of automatically selecting relevant candidates for follow-up. ALeRCE is an initiative led by an interdisciplinary and interinstitutional group of scientists in Chile in collaboration with international researchers from a wide range of institutions. The system considers state-of-the-art solutions in data orchestration, machine learning, databases, and visualization among others. ALeRCE will be adapted to different surveys including the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), ATLAS, and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), among others.

The international Astroinformatics 2018 conference took place in the Studio Villa Bosch, Heidelberg, from September 3–7, 2018. Scientists from all over the world met to exchange views on the newest and most successful methods of machine learning in an effort to advance the exploration of the Universe. The conference was organized by HITS researchers Dr. Kai Polsterer, Antonio D’Isanto, Erica Hopkins, and Dr. Nikos Gianniotis (all from the Astroinformatics group at HITS – Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies) in cooperation with Prof. Joachim Wambsganss (Heidelberg University) and Dr. Coryn Bailer-Jones (Max Planck Institute for Astronomy).

The Astroinformatics – which is devoted to the scientific exploitation of the fast-growing volumes of data in astronomy – is one of the most important events in this field. At the conference, scientists discussed topics including novel database systems, visualization and augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and the reproducibility of research results. The conference is hosted at a different location all around the world once every year. In 2018, it took place in Germany for the first time.
