IRIS Digital Asset - Create A Machine Learning Toolkit for Pulsars and Fast Transients
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Manchester
Department Name: Physics and Astronomy
Abstract
This grant has been awarded to complete a set scope of work for IRIS. The work consists of software and services that facilitate Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) scientific outputs: the design, development, testing, and prototype of a UK Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Regional Centre (SRC) data archive as part of the global SRC Network (SRCNet) that fulfils SKA Science Archive requirements using existing pathfinder/precursor data that provide real-world proxies for future SKA data products.

| Title | Fast Transient Candidate labeller |
| Description | This is a web based application that has been developed to allow users to interact with a database of fast transient candidates. It allows one to view, select and label data which can be used ultimately either to find new transients or use them in future Machine Learning applications. |
| Type Of Technology | Webtool/Application |
| Year Produced | 2024 |
| Open Source License? | Yes |
| Impact | At this stage still only limited users, will assess impact further once released to a wider user base. |
