2 conclusions A data-driven model measures physical parameters of stars with better quality than any physics-driven pipeline. The Cannon no physics is harmed Connections to other physical systems and models. Connections to extra-solar-planet and Milky-Way science. Criticisms of vanilla machine learning. Everything open-source or public-domain. Melissa Ness (MPIA), Andy Casey (Cambridge), Anna Y. Q. Ho (Caltech), Lauren Anderson (Flatiron), Hans-Walter Rix (MPIA)

4 Annie Jump Cannon O B A F G K M temperature sequence! alphabetical order is hydrogen-line-strength order Cannon understood the temperature sequence of stars without the benefit of physical models data-driven non-linear dimensionality reduction manifold learning (using a huge amount of prior knowledge) namesake of The Cannon

6 the paradoxes of contemporary physics models are incredibly explanatory QCD, ΛCDM, helioseismology and yet... models are wrong (ruled out) in detail χ 2 ν The χ 2 statistic is a measure of the size of your data! data are abundant and precise
7 the paradoxes of contemporary physics models are incredibly explanatory QCD, ΛCDM, helioseismology and yet... models are wrong (ruled out) in detail χ 2 ν The χ 2 statistic is a measure of the size of your data! data are abundant and precise missing physics, approximation, gastrophysics models are fundamentally computational
8 context: Galactic archaeology stars populate orbits in the Milky Way conserved actions (or chaotic equivalents) stars are formed from particular gas clouds stars have conserved surface abundances the combined action-chemical space will be far more informative than either taken independently
9 context: Galactic archaeology top priority for many new projects Gaia & Gaia-ESO HERMES & GALAH SDSS-III APOGEE terrifying inconsistencies in current approaches models of stars are amazingly good but chemical signatures are incredibly tiny
10 context: extra-solar planets planets are measured relative to their host stars transits radial-velocity signals astrometric signals some planet measurements are now very precise need stellar properties for accuracy
11 definition: physics-driven models (my usage) put in everything you know gravity, atomic and molecular transitions, radiation make approximations to make things computable sub-grid models, mixing length, etc. compute like hell
12 definition: machine learning (my usage) the most extreme of data-driven models the data is the model none of your knowledge is relevant learn (fit) an exceedingly flexible model explain or cluster the data transformation from data to labels concept of non-parametrics concept of train, validate, and test many packages and implementations (and outrageous successes)
13 When does (vanilla) machine learning help you? train & test situation training data are statistically identical to the test data same noise amplitude same distance or redshift distribution same luminosity distribution never true! training data have accurate and precise labels therefore, we can t use vanilla machine learning! (physicists rarely can)
14 definition: data-driven models (my usage) make use of things you strongly believe noise model & instrument resolution causal structure (shared parameters) capitalize on huge amounts of data exceedingly flexible model concept of train, validate, and test every situation will be bespoke
15 label transfer for stars a few of your stars have good labels (from somewhere) can you use this to label the other stars? why would you want to do this?
16 label transfer for stars a few of your stars have good labels (from somewhere) can you use this to label the other stars? why would you want to do this? you don t have good models at your wavelengths? you want two surveys to be on the same system? you have some stars at high SNR, some at low SNR? you spent human time on some stars but can t on all?
17 stellar spectra stars are very close to black-bodies to first order, a stellar spectrum depends on effective temperature T eff, surface gravity log g, and metallicity [Fe/H]
18 stellar spectra stars are very close to black-bodies to first order, a stellar spectrum depends on effective temperature T eff, surface gravity log g, and metallicity [Fe/H] to second order, tens of chemical abundances, rotation, turbulence, activity
19 stellar spectra all chemical information is in absorption lines corresponding to atomic and molecular transitions some 30 elements are visible in the best stars spectroscopy at is the primary tool R λ > 20, 000 λ
20 stellar astrophysics A B Teff = 4750, log g = 3.0, [Fe/H] = 0.15 Teff = 4849, log g = 2.2, [Fe/H] = -1.0 normalized flux f Teff = 3614, log g = 0.4, [Fe/H] = Teff = 5003, log g = 2.8, [Fe/H] = wavelength λ (Å)

22 SDSS-III APOGEE Galactic archaeology APOGEE DR12 & DR13: 156,000 stars (98,000 giants) R = 22, 500 spectra in 1.5 < λ < 1.7 µm precise RVs and stellar parameters abundances per star (our own home-built and special continuum normalization; ask me!) all data completely public!
23 SDSS-III APOGEE A B Teff = 4750, log g = 3.0, [Fe/H] = 0.15 Teff = 4849, log g = 2.2, [Fe/H] = -1.0 normalized flux f Teff = 3614, log g = 0.4, [Fe/H] = Teff = 5003, log g = 2.8, [Fe/H] = wavelength λ (Å)
24 train, validate, and test split the data into three disjoint subsets in the training step you set the parameters of your model using the training set the validation set is used to set hyperparameters or model complexity in the test step you apply the model to the test set new data to make predictions or deliver results
