Advances in Machine Learning and Data Mining for Astronomy

This practical guide illustrates the use of state-of-the-art machine learning and data mining techniques in astronomy. The book presents issues in the astronomical sciences that are also important to health, social, and physical sciences. It describes a number of astrophysics case studies that leverage a range of machine learning and data mining technologies. In addition, developers of algorithms and practitioners of machine learning and data mining show how these tools and techniques are used in astronomical applications.
