First thing, I met with Schiminovich (Columbia), Mohammed (Columbia), and Dun Wang (NYU) to discuss our GALEX imaging projects. We decided that it is time for us to produce titles, abstracts, outlines, and lists of figures for our next two papers. We also realized that we need to produce pretty-picture maps of the plane survey data, and compare it to Planck and GLIMPSE and other related projects.
I had a great lunch meeting with Brian McFee (NYU) to catch up on his research (on music!) and ask his advice on various time-domain projects I have in mind. He has new systems to recognize chords in music, and he claims higher performance than previous work. We discussed time-series methods, including auto-encoders and HMMs. As my loyal reader knows, I much prefer methods that deal with the data probabilistically; that is, not methods that always require complete data without missing information, and so on. McFee had various thoughts on how we might adapt methods that expect complete data for tasks that are given incomplete data, like tasks that involve Kepler light curves.
