AbstractSpectroscopic observations of galaxies contain critical information about their physical properties, and modern large spectroscopic surveys of galaxies are producing a plethora of data. Given the size of these datasets, traditional data analysis methods are prohibitively time consuming. The Principal Investigator (PI) will develop an artificial intelligence (AI) model called Spectroscopy Pre-trained Transformer (SpecPT) that will make use of recent advances in machine learning (ML) architectures
