BUILDING THE SOFTWARE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR ASTROPHYSICS by Dan Foreman-Mackey
who am I? / / what’ve I been up to?
1
7 [1] solving Hard™ data analysis problems [2] enabling and
empowering astrophysicists
implementation.
data = > physics
open source software for astrophysics 2
why?

gradients!
dp(data|physics) / dphysics
automatic differentiation aka “backpropagation”
your model is just code
apply the chain rule
apply the chain rule over and over again . .
.
sounds silly?
it's not! (mostly)
None

what’s next?

my approach to open source 6
None
[1] don’t underestimate users [2] build libraries, not (just) scripts
[3] teach by example
None
None
None
bringing open source practices to research more generally

what’s next? 7
7 [1] inference with stochastic or intractable models [2] what
can we do to better support open source in astrophysics

many fundamental software packages have a shockingly small number of
maintainers.

neglecting your favorites!
