Abstract:

Data from modern telescopes is piling up faster than any team of astronomers could ever read through it. That's where Artificial Intelligence comes in: by training computers to spot patterns and flag the unexpected, we can start to make sense of the flood. In this talk, I'll take you to the boundary between astronomy and data science, where I'll introduce you to some of the sky's most spectacular objects (including black holes caught behaving very strangely, and bright blips of radio light we don’t really know the origin of) and show you how algorithms are becoming some of our most valuable research partners.
