Abstract

We plan to search for anomalous objects and to do classification of galaxies using machine learning and deep learning techniques. More specifically we have been conducting searches of some rare objects such as quasars, asteroids and mergers and classifying active galaxies. In this project we plan to use the above mentioned techniques to combine LSST, S-PLUS and other large multi-band datasets, also including data from other wavelengths. (AU)
