SUMMARY:The future of astronomy in the era of AI and big data - Sara Webb

DESCRIPTION:Astronomical surveys have expanded to such vast scales that hu
 man analysis alone is no longer sufficient. Instead\, we increasingly rely
  on machine learning algorithms to sift through data and identify sources 
 of objects of interest. When harnessed effectively\, these technologies ar
 e extraordinarily powerful. This talk will explore how AI systems have bee
 n integrated into the Deeper\, Wider\, Faster program\, dramatically reduc
 ing the workload of astronomers through both supervised and unsupervised l
 earning methods. We will also discuss the broader implications for the pro
 fession of astronomy and what it means to be an astronomer in this new era
  of big data.
