Research: artificial intelligence required in the field of astronomy!
In March, the teams from the EPITA Research and Development Laboratory (LRDE), Institut de Mécanique Céleste et de Calcul des éphémérides - Institute of celestial mechanics and ephemeris calculations (IMCCE) Paris Observatory and the Physics and AstroPhysics (PAP) research team from IPSA (already working in collaboration with IMCCE) met at the school’s Parisian campus for a joint seminar. This event marked the beginning of a brand new collaboration between the researchers from the two entities, focused on artificial intelligence and image processing to benefit astrometry. To discuss this unique link between computer science and space, EPITA spoke with Valéry Lainey, an astronomer at the Paris Observatory, and Guillaume Tochon, a teacher-researcher at the LRDE and co-director of the IMAGE major.
