Description
Chair: Julia Kempe
Time-domain astrophysics, the study of cosmic phenomena which evolve on human timescales, is undergoing a Big Data revolution thanks to public, wide-field surveys of the night sky. Here, I will provide a broad overview on the technical and astrophysical challenges on the horizon. I will highlight recent examples which utilize unsupervised and generative models to identify, classify and analyze transient events in real time.
