Join us on Tuesday for an evening of #MachineLearning Learning in #Astronomy! Ashod Khederlarian of the University of #Pittsburgh will share how state-of-the-art machine learning techniques are used to analyze vast astronomical datasets.

We have a special venue for this event: the Allegheny Observatory has graciously agreed to host the talk! After the talk, observatory staff will offer a free private tour of this fascinating scientific landmark.
