Artificial intelligence tools for data mining in large astronomical databases
نویسندگان
چکیده
The federation of heterogeneous large astronomical databases foreseen in the framework of the AVO and NVO projects will pose unprecedented data mining and visualization problems which may find a rather natural and user friendly answer in artificial intelligence (A.I.) tools based on neural networks, fuzzy-C sets or genetic algorithms. We shortly describe some tools implemented by the AstroNeural collaboration (Napoli-Salerno) aimed to perform complex tasks such as, for instance, unsupervised and supervised clustering and time series analysis. Two very different applications to the analysis of photometric redshifts of galaxies in the Sloan Early Data Release and to the telemetry of the TNG (telescopio nazionale Galileo) are also discussed as template cases.

A Proposed Data Mining Methodology and its Application to Industrial Procedures
Data mining is the process of discovering correlations, patterns, trends or relationships by searching through a large amount of data stored in repositories, corporate databases, and data warehouses. Industrial procedures with the help of engineers, managers, and other specialists, comprise a broad field and have many tools and techniques in their problem-solving arsenal. The purpose of this st...

In the last decade, the use of neural networks (NN) and of other soft computing methods has begun to spread also in the astronomical community which, due to the required accuracy of the measurements, is usually reluctant to use automatic tools to perform even the most common tasks of data reduction and data mining. The federation of heterogeneous large astronomical databases which is foreseen i...

متن کاملSymbiotic Data Miner
Most experts agree (Piatetsky-Shapiro, 2000; Thearling, 2007) that data mining began in the 1960s with the advent of computers that could store and process large amounts of data. In the 1980s, data mining became more common and widespread with the distribution of relational databases and SQL. In the 1990s, business saw a boom in data mining as desktop computers and powerful server-class compute...
