Machine Learning in Astroparticle Physics: Gamma Rays and Neutrinos — •Wolfgang Rhode — Fakultät Physik, TU Dortmund

The umbrella term 'machine learning' covers a large variety of computer science methods for classification and information extraction, such as Random Forests, Deep Learning, and others. Because of its comparably simple data structures and sometimes time-critical applications for target-of-opportunity observations of variable sources, Astroparticle Physics yields an ideal field for such applications. The talk gives an overview of problems and their solutions from the information extraction from raw data, over signal background separation to the solution for the final inverse problem and multi-messenger classifications.
