متن کاملMachine-assisted discovery of relationships in astronomy
High-volume feature-rich data sets are becoming the bread-and-butter of 21st century astronomy but present significant challenges to scientific discovery. In particular, identifying scientifically significant relationships between sets of parameters is non-trivial. Similar problems in biological and geosciences have led to the development of systems which can explore large parameter spaces and ...

greater depths with the Palomar Sky Survey during the 1950s. Astronomers pored over these photographic plates to build catalogues of new classes of objects, such as George Abell’s catalogue of rich galaxy clusters and Berverly Lynds’s catalogues of interstellar clouds. These early catalogues, published on paper in specialised journals, laid the foundations for entire fields of modern astronomy....
