Скачать или смотреть Using Machine Learning and Citizen Science to Classify Supernovae - Xander Hall - 06/24/2024

How do astronomers use machine learning and citizen science to aid astronomy? How do we classify supernovae? Join us at our next Astronomy on Tap for insights from Xander Hall, a recent graduate from Caltech. Timestamps below:

00:00 Introduction
1:16 Machine Learning Presentation
17:49 Q&A for Machine Learning Presentation
18:09 "Is machine learning better at signal processing than citizen scientists?"
19:47 "Is ChatGPT effective at answering physics questions?"
20:52 "Do citizen scientists get to name the supernovae they discover?"
22:08 "How do you manually sort supernovae into types before machine learning?"
23:06 "How do you ensure the robustness of your ML algorithm and citizen scientists?"

Astronomy on Tap is a global phenomenon where professional scientists give informal science talks in local bars with accompanying pub trivia and interactions with the public. The Los Angeles chapter of Astronomy on Tap is very active, with monthly events at the Dog Haus Biergarten in Pasadena. This recording is a bit noisy due to the logistics of operating a camera in a crowded bar, but it sufficiently captures the enthusiastic energy of the few hundred attendees each month. Join us for a future Astronomy on Tap night--free and open to all, no reservations necessary: https://www.astro.caltech.edu/outreac...
