The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $207,876 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to President and Fellows of Harvard College. This grant will support the development, testing, and application of machine learning (ML) algorithms and pipelines for the photometric classification of optical transients from current and future astronomical surveys.

The key products and services to be delivered under this project include: (i) combining time-series light curve classification with host galaxy classification using ML techniques; (ii) developing, testing, and implementing ML pipelines targeted at specific classes of rare transients; and (iii) designing anomaly detection algorithms to discover new types of rare transients. The project aims to prepare students and postdocs for big data scientific techniques in astronomy and enable real-time identification of rare transient events that cannot be observed spectroscopically. The award period is from June 1, 2024 to August 31, 2024.
