Title: Connecting theory and observations of galaxy evolution with deep learning
Abstract:
In the last years, deep learning has rapidly emerged as a powerful and promising tool to process the data deluge we expect in the years to come. In my talk, I will illustrate recent efforts from our group to use both supervised and unsupervised deep learning to narrow the link between state-of-the art simulations and observations of galaxy formation. I will show how deep learning can be used to look for signatures in the data of physical processes defined by theory. I will also show how anomaly detection techniques can be employed to identify observed galaxy populations not well captured in the simulations.
