Agenda/Notes

COSMIC AI

  • NRAO PI Eric Murphy
  • Brian Mason working on automating calibration
  • Ryan Loomis working on image analysis/image segmentation of emission in  molecular line cubes.
  • Seminar series - next week (12th) ML will present on what we have been talking about in this NRAO meeting series. https://www.cosmicai.org/about
  • Can sign up for email list, Slack etc by following "Get Involved".
  • Call for seed funding (~$30k) proposals now open (abstracts due March 14th).

Uses of AI/ML in radio interferometric imaging

  • Clean works pretty well and is fast and becoming more sophisticated (e.g. ASP clean), most of the time is spent gridding the major cycles, which AI/ML probably can't help much with.
  • Some possible uses for AI maybe?
    • "Learning" deconvolution (e.g. POLISH)
    • Preview imaging (e.g. teach AI how to fill in gaps in the UV plane, Schmidt et al. 2022) - maybe useful if processing resources limited for full processing?
    • Setting a prior in a regularized ML imaging analysis

Topics from the #ai slack channel

  • Security/privacy issues
  • using AI to help with coding
