AstroAI strives to bring experts in artificial intelligence together with experts in astronomy to help solve some of the most interesting and difficult to solve problems in astronomy.
We are a diverse group of scientists doing machine learning research for Astrophysics. Our goal is to provide the community with resources readily available for interdisciplinary projects, and for building the right team of experts in all disciplines relevant to each research project. We work with the community to assess the needs and potential of using machine learning and artificial intelligence resources, and respond by developing and adapting methodologies that apply to astrophysical problems across astrophysics research areas. We achieve this by building strong interdisciplinary collaborations with, and drawing resources and expertise from the rich Boston area computer science community.
