The Cannon and El Cañon

At the end of the day I got a bit of quality time in with Danny Horta (Flatiron) and Adrian Price-Whelan (Flatiron), who have just (actually just before I met with them) created a new implementation of The Cannon (the data-driven model of stellar photospheres originally created by Melissa Ness and me back in 2014/2015). Why!? Not because the world needs another implementation. We are building a new implementation because we plan to extend out to El Cañon, which will extend the probabilistic model into the label domain: It will properly generate or treat noisy and missing labels. That will permit us to learn latent labels, and de-noise noisy labels.
