Astrophysics meets data science

Project organisation

The Hyperstars collaboration is a combination of experts in astrophysics specialized in hyper-spectral data, interstellar dust modelling and numerical simulations of the star formation process, and experts in data science covering a large range of expertise: clustering, data mining, machine learning, data quality, inverse problem, source separation, and optimisation on GPU architecture. Most participants of the project are in the Paris area.
