Why new data handling techniques? New radio surveys will produce lots of
data!− ASKAP/EMU ~ 70 million objects− LOFAR/Tier 1 ~ 7 million objects− WSRT/WODAN ~ 10 million objects
New optical/NIR surveys will produce even more data!− Pan-STARRS/PS1-3π
~ 5-30 billion objects− LSST/Galaxy “gold sample“
~ 10 billion objects Astronomers go wild!− Tera-, exa-, petabyte scale
∑~70 million

Implications for survey science There are no spectroscopic redshifts− Redshift information must be accessed on other
ways → photometric (better: statistical) redshifts There are no spectral classifications− Classification of an object must be inferred on other
ways → Flux ratios or SED-fitting (better: kNN classification) becomes more important
There are no spectroscopically derived parameters− Classic parameters such as metallicity must be
derived on other ways → scaling relations (better: kNN regression) must be utilized

Common approaches Define plain color criteria Model SEDs Look for morphology, scaling
relations, ...
− PROs:◦ Physically motivated◦ Easy to reproduce in 2d diagrams◦ High completeness
− CONs:◦ Global model◦ Does not work for high dimensions◦ Many false positive candidates

use k-Nearest Neighbours− local model− works fine in high dimensions− does not require physical assumptions− good reference samples available
?

Example 1: statistical redshifts stat-z for ATLAS
− ATLAS has spec-z for ~30% of allobjects
− Training with 12-band data (ugriz,IRAC,MIPS24,13cm,20cm)
Advantages of statistical redshifts− No assumptions must be made (no template SEDs,
luminosity range, dust reddening, flux homogenization, ...)
− Computation much faster than for class. photo-z (tstat-
z~ n*log2(n) | tphoto-z~ nα , α>2)

Redshift estimation for SDSS quasars kNN regression model + selected reference set− 77,000 references reduced to 1,100 objects− optimized for z > 4.8− 4 colors used

Example 2: object classification SF / AGN separation− Classical tool: BPT-diagram (requires
spectroscopy)− Alternative: MIR color-color selection
(not very reliable)− SED fitting (work-intensive)
− kNN-based classification of ATLAS test-sample yields combined false classification rate of 9%
− Smolcic et al. (2008) achieve contamination rates between 15% - 20% using a highly sophisticated photometric method

Example 3: metallicity Metallicity from L-Z relation
− Spectroscopic input: SDSS metallicities as derived by Brinchman et al. (2004)
− Lr-Z relation calibrated by the 2dF survey (Lamareille et al. 2004) applied to Galactic extinction-corrected fluxes
− No other assumptions made
Metallicity from kNN regression− Spectroscopic input: SDSS metallici-ties
derived by Brinchman+ (2004)− kNN regression with respect to the 90 nearest
neighbors− No other assumptions made

Summary
We presented the first results of utilizing advanced machine-learning techniques to classify/analyze large data sets.
Dealing with large data sets will become increasingly important due to the enormous amounts of data forthcoming (radio) surveys will produce.
A k nearest neighbor-based approach was tested on available data from ATLAS, COSMOS and the SDSS.
Results for redshifts, object classifications and the regressional computation of astrophysical quantities (e.g. metallicity) all yield promising results.
Data-mining will already play an important role in currently upcoming projects, e.g. ASKAP/EMU.
