Exploring The Universe with Machine Learning
Webinar: Wednesday, May 30, 2012 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM (Pacific Daylight Time), (4:00pm GMT)

WHAT IT’S ABOUT:
There is much to discover in the big, actually astronomically big, datasets that are (and will be) available. The challenge is how to effectively mine these massive datasets.
In this webinar attendees will learn how CANFAR (the Canadian Advanced Network for Astronomical Research) is using Skytree’s high performance and scalable machine learning system in the cloud. The combination enables astronomers to focus on their analyses rather than having to waste time implementing scalable complex algorithms and architecting the infrastructure to handle the massive datasets involved.
CANFAR is designed with usability in mind. Implemented as a virtual machine (VM), users can deploy their existing desktop code to the CANFAR cloud – delivering instant scalability (replication of the VM as required), without additional development.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Anyone interested in performing machine learning or advanced analytics on big (astronomical) data sets.
Well, I quality on two counts. How about you? 😉
