Lecture by Frank van Harmelen @Paradiso: How humans will work with AI
Frank van Harmelen in NWO inspiration session

06-29-21 Time: 16.45 Location: online

Frank van Harmelen (along with Nel Ruigrok and Anabella Meijer) will give a talk in one of the NWO inspiration sessions. The series is meant to discuss topics from the field of AI, climate change and (fake) news. What is a deep-rooted misunderstanding or a misleading idea and how can we eliminate them? What and how can a scientist or scientific communication officer explain?

In this thesis, we focus on the imaging part of a radio-astronomical data-processing pipeline. This is generally considered the most compute-intensive and therefore most challenging part of the entire processing pipeline. To reach the high dynamic ranges imposed by the high sensitivity and large field of view of the new generation of radio telescopes, we need to be able to correct for direction-independent effects (DIEs) such as the curvature of the earth as well as for direction-dependent time-varying effects (DDEs) such as those caused by the ionosphere during imaging. Existing imaging algorithms such as W-projection corrects for DIEs, and AW-projection additionally corrects for DDEs, but these algorithms have their limitations which make them computationally infeasible for future radio telescopes.
