From Dark Matter to Galaxies with Convolutional Networks
Cosmological surveys aim at answering fundamental questions about our Universe, including the nature of dark matter or the reason of…
ArXiv:1902.05965Cosmology X Data Science
The Cosmology X Data Science group develops novel algorithms and ways of thinking to apply to datasets to answer fundamental questions about the cosmos.
Astronomy is entering a new era. With ground- and space-based telescopes equipped with increasingly more sensitive cameras and instruments, enabling surveys, such as Kepler, Gaia and DES, SDSS, DESI, LSST, Euclid and WFIRST, that are discovering thousands of planets and millions of stars and galaxies, we are able to seek answers to fundamental questions about the origin and evolution of the universe. Cosmology X Data Science is a group that looks into all these datasets, develop new methods and ideas to answer fundamental questions of our cosmos.

Learning to Predict the Cosmological Structure Formation
S. He, Y. Li, Y. Feng, S. Ho, S. Ravanbakhsh, W. Chen, B. Poczos
Matter evolved under influence of gravity from minuscule density fluctuations. Non-perturbative structure formed hierarchically over all scales, and developed non-Gaussian…
