A machine learning approach in the dynamics of asteroids

In asteroid dynamics, many problems require numerical integration of the equations of motion. Due to the number of objects, it might require significant computational resources. Thus, one might find a better way to solve them — by using a machine learning approach.

2. The list of numbered asteroids in the Solar system has grown significantly in recent years.
3. In asteroid dynamics, many problems require numerical integration 
 of the equations of motion
4. This approach is 
 computationally expensive Therefore, fast, novel methods can be useful to work with big data
5. AI & ML methods have become popular among the IT

ML in astronomy • Outlier detection techniques for Exoplanets (Goel & Montgomery, 2015); • Cosmological parameter estimation via neural network (Hobson et al., 2014); • Identification & classification of active galactic nuclei (Cavouti et al., 2014); • Visualize & classify a large set of Type Ia Supernova spectra (Sasdelli et al., 2016); • Filtering out a large number of false-positive streak detections of near- Earth asteroid candidates in the Palomar Transient Factory (Waszczak et al., 2017); • A Machine Learns to predict the stability of tightly packed planetary systems (Tamayo et al. 2016); • A lot of others…
9. Types of ML • Supervised learning: example inputs and desired outputs are provided; the goal is to create a map that binds inputs to outputs. • Unsupervised learning: no examples are provided, the goal is to discover hidden patterns. • Reinforcement learning: the same as supervised learning but instead of a training set there is an environment that provides the rewards based on the actions
