Astronomical observations produce some of the largest “big data” today through a new generation of telescopes. While these data sets exhibit the usual challenges associated with big data (immense data volumes, high dimensionality, high complexity, disparate variables, etc.) there are new problems such as pattern discovery from low-signal-to-noise imagery, near-real-time classification of multi-terabyte-size data, and the presence of strict laws of physics behind the data production which can often be assimilated into machine learning. This Special Session at a large IEEE Computational Intelligence meeting aims to engage the computational community in solutions to problems modern astronomy faces.
