We are happy to announce our Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung summer school on scientific machine learning in astrophysics at IWR and HGS MathComp Uni Heidelberg from August 14.-18.2023. For more infos see astroai-lab.de/conferences/cz… with Soledad Villar Morgan Fouesneau and aura obreja

Great new work by Pablo Lemos Elena Massara Shirley Ho Miles Cranmer ChangHoon Hahn David Yallup Muntazir Abidi Michael Eickenberg @FlatironCCA NYU Physics - 'Robust #simulation-based inference in #cosmology with #Bayesian #neuralnetworks' - bit.ly/3IM2Wgs #astrophysics #AI

I packed-up a full-text paper scraper, vector database, and LLM into a CLI to answer questions from only highly-cited peer-reviewed papers. Feels unreal to be able instantly get answers by an LLM "reading" dozens of papers. 1/2

In September 2022, Accelerate_Science @ml4science and datascience@uw, convened 30 researchers from across disciplines at a Schloss Dagstuhl workshop on ‘Machine learning for science: bridging data-driven and mechanistic modelling’. The result: a beautiful roadmap acceleratescience.github.io/resources/mach…

The satellites of our Milky Way and MW-like galaxies have been studied extensively, in particular, their star formation and quenching. We ask: how's the quenching of large puffy satellites? Surprisingly, we find that quenching is not tied to being puffy. arxiv.org/abs/2302.14108

Don't miss out on this special seminar at CSML with Rose Yu, who will be speaking on "Physics-Guided AI for Learning Spatiotemporal Dynamics." RSVP for lunch. March 27th. buff.ly/3kUUQZF

There was a thread on here last week where two Turing award winners are jovially promoting the idea that mathematical statistics is better at determining causation than common sense. 1/10

Registration is open for the 10th Astronomical Data Analysis Summer School #school #dataanalysis (ADA X), Hersonissos, Crete, Greece : ada10.cosmostat.org

The Ogallala aquifer is the largest underground water source in North America, giving life to ~ 30% of all crop and animal production in the US The aquifer’s water supply has dropped by as much as 75% and is on pace to dry up in the next 70 years.

I've been thinking about sustainability of scientific open source software more in the last few months. Something that has become clear to me is that having a maintainer team is not a side effect of a successful project, but (*effectively) a requirement for one.

Do you know what your watershed did last summer? Laura Condon does and even gave an amazing talk about it at SXSW at the University of Arizona Wonder House! Fortunately for those of us who couldn’t be there, it’s recorded: youtube.com/watch?v=weTDXE…

The ZTF Survey summer school (24-28 July) is now open for applications. This year's theme is transients and students will get to play with lots of transient data from our survey! To learn more, visit ztf.caltech.edu/summer-school-… #summerschool #astronomy

In our new PNAS paper, we use machine learning to discover novel equations for deriving masses of clusters of galaxies from observational quantities! (1/10) pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… with Miles Cranmer @paco_astro@jcolinhill David Spergel Shirley Ho,Leander,Nick,Daniel,Lars.

"The American West is certainly in a water crisis." Princeton Engineering professor Reed Maxwell sat down with Ginger Zee and Kenton Gewecke to talk about the future of water in America and problems the country is facing now: abcn.ws/41LPsaX 📷: ABC News / USGS

Excited to hear my paper co-led with Peter Melchior (@[email protected]) submitted to the ML4Astro workshop at ICML2023 was given a talk. “Spotting Hallucinations in Inverse Problems with Data-Driven Priors”. Paper (out soon) discusses quantifying uncertainty in prior informed image generations.

Very happy to see that joint data analysis between Rubin and Roman is explicitly called for

Led by Yan Liang, we looked for weird objects in the new DESI BGS data and found some! Funky quasars and a whole lot of stars arxiv.org/abs/2307.07664

Join PrincetonAstro as Assistant Professor! princeton.edu/acad-positions… We're primarily looking for theoretical and observational dynamics, time-domain astrophysics, and modern statistical techniques in astrophysics.
