About this blog

An Astronomer’s perspective on Deep Learning

This blog contains notes and notebooks of a researcher in Astrophysics diving deep into the study of deep learning. What I found during my quest, and what I report here, is meant to be purely anecdotical, and it is not necessarily following a logical educational path. The hope with which I build this blog is that it will eventually become a useful reference for me in the near future, and that maybe also other people may find some use out of my notes and notebooks.

My name is Lorenzo Posti and I’m currently a research scientist at the Strasbourg Observatory (France) specialized in models of galaxy dynamics, which I use to study the origin of galaxies and the nature of dark matter. Find my list of publications at ADS
