Developing An AI Method Of Identifying Life On Other Worlds
Humankind is looking for life on other planets, but how will we recognise it when we see it? Now a group of US scientists have developed an artificial-intelligence-based system which […]
Did Life Exist On Mars? Other Planets? With AI’s Help, We May Know Soon
Scientists have discovered a simple and reliable test for signs of past or present life on other planets – “the holy grail of astrobiology.”
Exploring The Use Of Generative AI In The Search For Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI)
The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is a field that has long been within the domain of traditional signal processing techniques.
Machine-learning Identified Molecular Fragments Responsible For Infrared Emission Features Of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons
Machine learning feature importance calculations are used to determine the molecular substructures that are responsible for mid and far-infrared (IR) emission features of neutral polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
Training Robots How To Learn And Make Their Own Decisions On The Fly
Mars rovers have teams of human experts on Earth telling them what to do. But robots on lander missions to moons orbiting Saturn or Jupiter are too far away to […]
Combining Multi-spectral Data With Statistical And Deep-learning Models For Improved Exoplanet Detection In Direct Imaging At High Contrast
Exoplanet detection by direct imaging is a difficult task: the faint signals from the objects of interest are buried under a spatially structured nuisance component induced by the host star. […]
Discovery of 69 New Exoplanets Using Machine Learning
In a groundbreaking achievement, a team of machine learning scientists and astronomers from Universities Space Research Association (USRA), the SETI Institute, and NASA discovered 69 new exoplanets using advanced machine […]
AI Could Deceive Us As Much As The Human Eye Does In The Search For Extraterrestrials
An artificial neural network has identified a square structure within a triangular one in a crater on the dwarf planet Ceres, with several people agreeing on this perception. The result […]
