Előadás címe: **Opening Up Astronomy with AstroML*

Kivonat:
Across many disciplines, the size and scope of data are quickly 
outpacing traditional methods of analysis and visualization. 
Increasingly, new discoveries and results depend on sophisticated 
statistical analysis of large datasets, which can be difficult for 
others to reproduce. To keep the scientific process healthy within this 
new paradigm will take a renewed effort toward open research -- 
including open code and open data -- to lower the barrier for scientific 
results to be reproduced, double-checked, and extended. AstroML 
<http://www.astroML.org> is an initiative to encourage this sort of open 
research in Astronomy and Astrophysics. AstroML is a Python package 
which contains an open source compendium of statistics, data mining, and 
machine learning tools, along with hundreds of examples of their use on 
data drawn from open-access astronomical catalogs. The package takes 
advantage of the active work of the open-source scientific Python 
community centered around the packages NumPy, Scipy, Matplotlib, and 
Scikit-learn. In this talk I will highlight some of the more interesting 
tools and datasets made available through AstroML, and discuss some of 
the current research and education it enables.
