Pushing the Technical Frontier: From Overwhelmingly Large Data Sets to Machine Learning

Abstract

This paper summarizes my thoughts, given in an invited review at the IAU symposium 341 "Challenges in Panchromatic Galaxy Modelling with Next Generation Facilities", about how machine learning methods can help us solve some of the big data problems associated with current and upcoming large galaxy surveys.

Submitted for publication in Proceedings of the IAU symposium 341, Osaka, Japan, 2018. Comments welcome!
