André Schaaff @ Astroinformatics 2018 in Heidelberg

André Schaaff talks about „Chatting with the services. VO standards and NLP" at the Astroinformatics 2018 in Heidelberg. Abstract of the talk: Voice interaction is natural and more and more present in our everyday life, through assistants at our home, for heterogeneous requests (booking, weather, shopping, etc.). The purpose is to relate a budding R&D work, Natural Language Processing applied to the querying of astronomical data services. We are not geeks and we would like to propose this new way of interaction in the future, as an alternative to the traditional forms exposing parameter fields, check boxes, etc. It is of course easy to prototype something. But our aim is to answer the fundamental question : is it possible to reach query results satisfying professional astronomers? We have not started from scratch, the Virtual Observatory (VO) brings us standards like TAP, UCDs, ..., implemented in the CDS services. The VO enables the interoperability which is a mandatory backbone, helping us to query our services in NL and which will be useful in a further step to query the whole VO through this way. We will present our pragmatic approach exploiting all the resources we have (authors in Simbad, missions and wavelengths in VizieR, UCDs, ADQL/TAP, ...) and using a chatbot interface (involving Machine Learning) to reduce the gap between good and imprecisely/ambiguous queries. We would be happy to collect, on this occasion, comments (if possible enthusiastic) or to initiate collaborations. The international Astroinformatics 2018 conference took place in the Studio Villa Bosch, Heidelberg, from September 3–7, 2018. Scientists from all over the world met to exchange views on the newest and most successful methods of machine learning in an effort to advance the exploration of the Universe. The conference was organized by HITS researchers Dr. Kai Polsterer, Antonio D’Isanto, Erica Hopkins, and Dr. Nikos Gianniotis (all from the Astroinformatics group at HITS – Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies) in cooperation with Prof. Joachim Wambsganss (Heidelberg University) and Dr. Coryn Bailer-Jones (Max Planck Institute for Astronomy). The Astroinformatics – which is devoted to the scientific exploitation of the fast-growing volumes of data in astronomy – is one of the most important events in this field. At the conference, scientists discussed topics including novel database systems, visualization and augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and the reproducibility of research results. The conference is hosted at a different location all around the world once every year. In 2018, it took place in Germany for the first time. Conference page: https://astroinformatics2018.h-its.org/
