Title:
Cosmological Distance with Machine Learning
Agreement Value:
$7,000.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 19, 2020 - Mar 31, 2021
Description:
The work in the context of this project will focus on the cosmological aspects of the overall project. In particular, different classical estimators of galaxy distances in astronomy will be reviewed and provide a detailed account of their error budget, that will be an essential input to the supervised or semi-supervised machine learning algorithms. Expertise on spherical geometry methods and Cosmic Microwave Background full sky analyses will be leveraged for this project.
Organization:
National Research Council Canada
Expected Results:
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators.

Program:
Collaborative Science, Technology and Innovation Program – Ideation Fund
Program Purpose:
The Ideation Fund is intended to encourage, test and validate transformative research ideas generated by teams of NRC scientific personnel and external collaborators with complementary capabilities, acting as a demonstration phase for a continually-evolving suite of research and development (R&D) deliverables at the NRC. The fund supports exploratory research through two mechanisms: the New Beginnings Initiative and the Small Teams Initiative.
