This INSPIRE award is partially funded by the Special Projects program of the Division of Astronomical Sciences and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities, both in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences, and by the Information Technology Research and Information Integration and Informatics programs in the Division of Information and Intelligent Systems in the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering.This project will construct a software infrastructure for filtering and annotating alerts generated by astronomical time-domain surveys, where an alert is a change in an astronomical source when compared with a reference image. Current and future surveys are capable of producing enormous numbers of such alerts: in particular, the planned Large Synoptic Survey Telescope project could produce a million or more every single night for a decade. Within this veritable flood will be a small number of rare and unusual sources with short lifetimes that must be recognized in real time, or else the opportunity for thorough study will be lost.This research will meet that need: the system will include a core flow that quickly annotates alerts with already known details, creating a useful database in its very first pass, followed by a method to derive broad characteristic features that can be used to filter out and divert those events not in need of rapid follow-up. Advanced, more computationally intensive processing can be applied to those that pass the filters, including multiple paths that allow users to select for their particular interests. The final product for this prototype is those alerts that are the most unusual. The system is designed to be flexible, so no alerts are lost and the stream can be tapped by external users at any point for their own processing. Use of the Arizona Machine Experimentation Lab allows for model construction and testing, and for creation of novel, perhaps more efficient, filtering processes. Throughout, decisions are completely driven by astronomical expertise.The study of known but rare objects will transform fields ranging from stellar evolution to growth of active galactic nuclei to the fundamental structure of the Universe, while the discovery and characterization of previously unknown objects could create entirely new fields. Although the prototype will focus on the rarest of objects, ultimately the built-in flexibility and community-generated filtering processes will enable finding items of specific interest to any user. In addition, a system that can take alerts, aggregate ancillary information, and filter to identify specific cases, will be of general use in many fields, from epidemiology to network protection to homeland security and beyond, wherever rapid analysis of new events properly associated with existing information is critical.

该启发奖部分由天文学科学部的特殊项目计划和多学科活动的办公室，包括在数学和物理科学局，以及信息技术研究和信息的信息整合和信息整合和信息学计划的信息和信息划分，用于计算机，信息科学和工程学的信息，并将其构造用于计算机，信息科学和工程的机构。调查，与参考图像相比，当天文源的警报是一种变化。 当前和未来的调查能够产生大量此类警报：尤其是计划的大型天气调查望远镜项目可以在十年内每晚生产一百万或更多。 在这场名副其实的洪水中，将是少数罕见且不寻常的来源，其寿命短，否则将彻底研究的机会将丢失。这项研究将满足需要的满足：该系统将包括一个核心流量，将核心流动迅速注释，以已知的详细信息来快速注释警报，并在其最初的范围内创建一个有用的数据库，随后又有一个有用的特征性的事件，这些事件可用于过滤并划出这些事件，并划出这些事件，并划出了这些事件。 可以将高级，更多的计算密集处理处理应用于传递过滤器的那些，包括允许用户选择其特定兴趣的多个路径。 该原型的最终产品是那些最不寻常的警报。 该系统的设计是灵活的，因此不会丢失警报，并且在任何时候可以通过外部用户挖掘该流以进行自己的处理。 亚利桑那机器实验实验实验实验实验实验实验的使用允许进行模型构建和测试，并创建了新颖，更有效的过滤过程。 在整个过程中，决策完全由天文专业知识驱动。对已知但稀有物体的研究将改变从恒星进化到活跃银河核的增长到宇宙的基本结构，而以前未知物体的发现和表征可能会产生全新的领域。 尽管原型将集中在最稀有的对象上，但最终内置的灵活性和社区生成的过滤过程将使任何用户都找到特定兴趣的项目。 此外，可以在许多领域（从流行病学到网络保护再到国土安全性及以后的新事件的快速分析与现有信息的新事件的快速分析，都至关重要的是至关重要的，可以在许多领域（从流行病学到网络保护到国土安全性，都至关重要的是，可以在许多领域中普遍使用，从而在许多领域中普遍使用，此外，将在许多领域中普遍使用。
