Innovative Scientific Data Exploration and Exploitation Applications for Space Sciences

Objective

EXPLORE’s main objective is to deploy machine learning (ML) and advanced visualization tools to achieve efficient, user-friendly, realistic exploitation of scientific data from astrophysics and planetary space missions, as well as from supporting ground-based massive surveys. We will focus on six different topics, each chosen for their timely importance and their complementary data structures. This diversity and complementarity is key to a future evolution and growth of the platform that will be relevant and applicable to the broadest possible user-base within the research community. Two of EXPLORE’s topics are related to Lunar observation, two to Galactic Science and two to stellar characterization. For each of these topics, the state-of-the-art will be enhanced by introducing ML techniques and advanced visualization tools to support “Human Learning”. Project results will be disseminated to a wide range of targets communities (astronomy, AI, general public, etc) and prepared for submission as scientific papers. For each topic, specific tools will be created, called Scientific Data Application (SDA) throughout this proposal. These SDAs will be developed on a dedicated cloud solution (the EXPLORE Thematic Exploitation Platform, EXPLORE-TEP). This will be made available also on existing cloud platforms such as ESCAPE Science Analysis Platform and the ESA Datalabs, close to the input data, and open to the community for direct exploitation-on-demand. These SDAs will also be used by the consortium to produce enhanced scientific datasets for space science mission exploitation, which will be stored in appropriate archives for public access. Datasets from Gaia and recent lunar (LRO, Clementine, Chandrayaan, etc) space missions are at the core of the EXPLORE project and will be complemented by previous space missions (IUE, Galex, WISE, etc). Data from ground-based surveys (APOGEE, Gaia-ESO, RAVE, etc) will be used to provide added value to the Gaia and Lunar missions.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
