2 Telescopes (ground-based and space-based, covering the full electromagnetic spectrum) Archive growth The ESO case Instruments(telescope/band dependent) Large digital sky surveys are becoming the dominant source of data in astronomy: ~ TB/survey (soon PB), ~ sources/survey, many wavelengths Data sets many orders of magnitude larger, more complex, and more standardized than in the past 2

3 Due to new instruments and new diagnostic tools, the information volume grows exponentially Most data will never be seen by humans! (BLADE RUNNER) The need for data storage, network, database-related technologies, standards, etc. Information complexity is also increasing greatly Most knowledge hidden behind data complexity is lost Most (all) empirical relationships known so far depend on 3 parameters. Simple universe or rather human bias? Most data (and data constructs) cannot be comprehended by humans directly! The need for data mining, KDD (Knowledge Discovery in Databases), data understanding technologies, hyper dimensional visualization, AI/Machine-assisted discovery 3

5 DAME Program is a joint effort between University Federico II, Caltech and INAF-OACN, aimed at implementing (as web 2.0 applications and services) a scientific gateway for data analysis, exploration and mining, on top of a virtualized distributed computing environment. Science and management info Documents Science cases Newsletters DAMEWARE Web Application media channel 5

6 In this scenario DAME, starting from astrophysics requirements domain, has investigated the Massive Data Sets(MDS) exploration by producing a taxonomy of data mining applications (hereinafter called functionalities) and collected a set of machine learning algorithms(hereinafter called models). This association functionality-model is made of what we defined "use case", easily configurable by the user through specific tutorials. At low level, any experiment launched on the DAME framework, externally configurable through dynamical interactive web pages, is treated in a standard way, making completely transparent to the user the specific computing infrastructure used and specific data format given as input. So the user doesn t need to know anything about the computing infrastructure and almost nothing about the internal mechanisms of the chosen machine learning model.. 6

9 Based on the X-Informatics paradigm, it is multi-disciplinary platform (until now X = Astro) End users can remotely exploit high computing and storage power to process massive datasets (in principle they can do data mining on their smartphone ) User can automatically plug-in his own algorithm and launch experiments through the Suite via a simple web browser Oct 10-11, 2011 S.

11 GAME (Genetic Algorithm Mining Experiment) is a pure genetic algorithm developed in order to solve supervised problems of regression or classification, able to work on Massive Data Sets (MDS) envolving just the genetic evolution (crossover, genetic mutation, roulette/tournament, elitism). GAME being a Genetic Algorithm need the creation of chromosomes population (genoma), this means that we need an internal representation (encoding genes of the chromosomes, normalization) and a fitness function able to evaluate the goodness of a chromosome than other. This depends obviusly from the problem examinated and hence from nature and the intrinsic characteristics of the dataset evaluated. In order to give a level of abstraction able to make simple adapt the algorithm to the specific problem, a family of polynomial developments was chosen. This metodology makes the algorithm itself easly expandable; this abstraction requie a set of parameters that allows to fit the algorithm to the specific problem CONVERGENCE TUBE Evaluating the goodnes of a solution with MSE or RMSE sometimes may happen that a better solution for MSE is a worse solution for the net, for example if we have a a simple classification problem with two patterns, one of class 0 and one of class 1, if the solution are 0.49 for the class 0 and 0.51 for the class 1, we have an efficiency of 100% (each patter correctly classified) and a MSE of 0.24, a solution of 0 for the class 0 and 0.49 for the class 1 (efficiency of 50%) gives back a MSE equal to 0.13 so the algorithm will prefer this kind of solution, in order to avoid this problem in GAME is implemented the convergence tube 11

12 (in coll. Con M. Paolillo & DAME coll.) The study of Globular Clusters populations in external galaxies requires the use of wide-field, multi-band photometry. In order to minimize contamination highresolution data are required BoK(TRUE CLUSTERS) selection in color Single images only one flux and morphology (reduces the cost in terms of observing time) Section of Hubble ACS image used to detect Globular Clusters around N1399. GCs (in yellow) GC are difficult to distinguish from background galaxies (in green) based only on single band images. 12

13 Results can be summarized as it follows: type of experiment missing features figure of merit MLPQNA GAME SVM MLPBP MLPGA complete patterns - class.accuracy completeness contamination no par class.accuracy completeness contamination only optical 8, 9, 10, 11 class.accuracy completeness contamination mixed 5, 8, 9, 10, 11 class.accuracy completeness contamination Classical methods bring to results about 10% worse than this 13

Aobjectis classified astransientif itsapparent brightnessas seen from Earth changes over time, whether the changes are due to variations in the actualluminosity, or to variations in the amount of the light that is blocked from reaching Earth.

19 PSFEx does not work directly on images. Instead, it operates on SExtractor catalogues. PSFEx_MODEL doesn t work well with the default psf provided by SExtractor. It needs a psf build on the image that we are considering. We can identify as stars the objects with PSFEx_MODEL less then a certain threshold and as galaxies the objects with PSFEx_MODEL grater equal that. The best is obtained with value 0.01, although with a little contamination for galaxies.
