Workshop Date: Sunday 31 January 2021

The widespread availability of machine learning (ML) technologies promises to disrupt scientific disciplines. Popular open source ML frameworks are not only useful for data-driven model fitting, but also for efficient computation of physics-based models. This COSPAR 2021 cross-disciplinary workshop is dedicated to showcasing use cases of ML technologies to observational and simulation data. This includes applications to:

  • satellite imagery classification and image restoration (including super-resolution),
  • space weather prediction,
  • exoplanet detection and characterization,
  • astrophysical simulations,
  • data augmentation, and
  • compressed sensing and inverse problems.

The workshop will feature invited talks, contributed talks, poster presentation as well as a panel discussion. For abstract submission, click here.
