Session 2: Data Science and Astrophysics
- Chair: Vito Conforti (Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF))
The aim of this work is to optimise the training process of machine learning algorithms in order to improve their performance on the background particles discrimination task, for the AGILE gamma ray telescope. It has been used a supervised dataset that describes the interactions between the high energy particles with the AGILE detectors. The dataset is composed of thousands of particles...
The several astronomical surveys carried on in the past, and those currently ongoing, produced a huge amount of data stored in their legacy catalogs. Besides the primary scientific goals pursued by the individual experiments, there probably is a lot of information hidden in those databases, still waiting to be extracted. This task is of crucial importance both because it provides further...
