Project 3: A Universal Forecaster for Astronomical Light Curves, and Other Out-of-Domain Time-Series Data

Lead PIs: Han Liu (NU), Adam Miller (NU)
Collaborators: Hong-Yu Chen (NU), Weijian Li (NU), Qinjie Lin (NU), Nabeel Rehemtulla (NU), Ved Shah (NU), Padma Venkatraman (UIUC)
Project Summary: This project seeks to predict nonuniformly sampled time-series data using artificial intelligence with uncertainty quantification. The main goal is astronomical time-series data, mainly from stars within the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) survey, but ultimately applicable to Rubin/Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) and even other domains.
