Connectionists: PASP - Focus Issue on Machine Intelligence in Astronomy and Astrophysics

[P.Tino at cs.bham.ac.uk]

Dear all,

Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (PASP) will 
publish a Focus Issue on Machine Intelligence in Astronomy and Astrophysics.


We are seeking papers that present novel machine intelligence techniques 
suitable for processing, analyzing or modelling astronomical data in an 
automated manner; or novel ways or methodologies for applying machine 
intelligence to specific problems in astronomical data analysis 
(including the infusion of external knowledge in the processing). 
Straightforward application of off-the-shelf machine intelligence 
techniques to astronomical data is not in the remit of this Focus Issue.

Authors will be expected to demonstrate effectiveness of methods on real 
astronomical problems; to present rigorous performance assessment (e.g., 
accuracy evaluation) for machine learning algorithms, and to discuss the 
results in terms of the benefits for answering the scientific question 
at hand.
