Artificial intelligence bot trained to recognize galaxies

"Researchers have taught an artificial intelligence program used to recognize faces on Facebook to identify galaxies in deep space. The result is an AI bot named ClaRAN that scans images taken by radio telescopes. Its job is to spot radio galaxies -- galaxies that emit powerful radio jets from supermassive black holes at their centres". Reblog with caption 🙃

Artificial intelligence helps track down mysterious cosmic radio bursts

Fast radio bursts are powerful blasts of energy from across the cosmos caused by unknown events, perhaps emissions from a collapsed and highly magnetized neutron star. One FRB source has attracted attention because it repeats. Breakthrough Listen researchers at UC Berkeley recorded radio data from this source and scraped it with a new machine learning algorithm that uncovered 72 new bursts undetected by normal techniques, proving the value of artificial intelligence in astronomy and SETI..
