SUNDIAL - SUrvey Network for Deep Imaging Analysis and Learning

Share this project

SUNDIAL (SUrvey Network for Deep Imaging Analysis & Learning) is an ambitious interdisciplinary network of nine research groups in the Netherlands, Germany, Finland, France, the United Kingdom, Spain, Belgium and Italy. The aim of the network is to develop novel algorithms to study the very large databases coming from current-day telescopes to better understand galaxy formation and evolution, and to prepare for the huge missions of the next decade.

Big Data has become common nowadays but it is a challenge to develop efficient and automated use of the ever-increasing data sets by new generations of data scientists. The project aims to contribute to this general discussion by training a number of young scientists in the fields of computer science and astronomy, focussing on techniques of automated learning from large quantities of data to answer fundamental questions on the evolution of properties of galaxies.

It will also promote, in collaboration with industry, much more general application of big data in society, e.g. in medical imaging or remote sensing.
