ml4seti SETI Institute

The SETI Institute of Mountain View is inviting all citizen data scientists and technologists to join us as collaborators in our mission to find intelligent radio signals from beyond our solar system. We are issuing a worldwide, public code challenge and accompanying hackathon for the purpose of expanding our radio-telescope signal classification tools using the latest developments available in machine- and deep-learning. We are looking for signal classification algorithms and models that can accurately identify the various types of radio signals we observe each night. We have constructed a set of simulated signals (thus, they are a labeled training data set) that mimic our observations. A typical analysis approach begins with transforming these simulated data into two-dimensional images.
