Bayesian Learning • Feature Vectors • Best Recommendation • Combine with Human judgment • Error bars, upper limits, and missing values • All are part of the prior • Summing opinions of multiple experts • Some not experts! • Relevance Vector Machine • Best of training set (most learning) • Tutorial • Escalation to real expert
Building Feature Vector Mahabal et al arXiv:0810.4527 [astro-ph]
Recommendation for Follow-Up Mahabal et al arXiv:0802.3199 [astro-ph] Sparse data Ambiguous classification best follow-up strategy to reduce confusion Example: optical light curve with a particular time cadence would discriminate between a Supernova and a quasar, Example: particular color measurement would discriminate between a cataclysmic variable eruption and a gravitational microlensing event,
Human Volunteers • Science Layer • Describe what you see in image • Each person has level of expertise • How to use data most effectively • Game Layer • Makes people come back • Top 10 ranking etc • Anonymous partner a la gwap.com
Human Computing • Ask humans to *describe* • not *interpret*
Automated Decision through Tripod of Data decision human archive machinelearning • Archive • nearby radio source escalates p(blazar) • nearby galaxy escalates p(supernova) • Human • Crowded field? Artifact present? • Can make follow-up observation • Machine • Fuzzy center escalates p(host galaxy) • Moving source escalates p(asteroid) • Bobotic follow-up observation
skyalert.org • Please try skyalert.org • register, then set an alert • Do you have a stream of astronomical events?(and can I have them) • Who knows how to make a scalable push network?(can we talk?)
