The TWIML AI Podcast (formerly This Week in Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence)

Fast Radio Burst Pulse Detection with Gerry Zhang - TWIML Talk #278

Today we’re joined by Yunfan Gerry Zhang, a PhD student at UC Berkely, and an affiliate of Berkeley’s SETI research center. In our conversation, we discuss: 

• Gerry's research on applying machine learning techniques to astrophysics and astronomy.

• His paper “Fast Radio Burst 121102 Pulse Detection and Periodicity: A Machine Learning Approach”.

• We explore the types of data sources used for this project, challenges Gerry encountered along the way, the role of GANs and much more.
