A key challenge in this research lies in detecting extremely subtle gravitational imprints of dark matter on the Galaxy\u2019s stellar\u00a0component. As astronomy enters a true big-data era, machine learning methods offer powerful tools for addressing this challenge, as they are particularly well suited for extracting weak signals from complex datasets and for scaling efficiently with increasing data volumes.<\/div>\n<div data-ogsc=\"rgb(0, 0, 0)\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\" data-ogsc=\"rgb(0, 0, 0)\">The seminar series aims to strengthen the visibility of AI-driven research at\u00a0TalTech\u00a0and foster interdisciplinary exchange across faculties. We therefore welcome participants with diverse research backgrounds and varying levels of experience in AI.<\/div>\n<div data-ogsc=\"rgb(0, 0, 0)\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\" data-ogsc=\"rgb(0, 0, 0)\">The presentation will be held in English and streamed via Microsoft Teams for those unable to attend in person. However, we strongly encourage on-site participation, as the talk will be followed by an open discussion and networking over coffee and light refreshments.<\/div>\n<div data-ogsc=\"rgb(0, 0, 0)\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\" data-ogsc=\"rgb(0, 0, 0)\">We look forward to seeing you at the seminar!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are pleased to invite all\u00a0TalTech\u00a0academic staff and AI enthusiasts to the next\u00a0TalTech\u00a0AI monthly research seminar, taking place on 6&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","language_tax":[338,339],"audience_tax":[350,351,352,353,354,355],"status_tax":[257],"type_tax":[364],"sector_tax":[],"class_list":["post-5208","event","type-event","status-publish","hentry","language_tax-estonian","language_tax-english","audience_tax-taltech-ai-community","audience_tax-taltech-internal","audience_tax-manager","audience_tax-scientist","audience_tax-student","audience_tax-teacher","status_tax-moodunud","type_tax-seminars"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>TalTech AI Open Seminar \u201cProbing the Milky Way\u2019s Dark Matter Halo with Machine Learning\u201d - Sven P\u00f5der | AI Focus Center<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ai.taltech.ee\/en\/events\/taltech-ai-open-seminar-probing-the-milky-ways-dark-matter-halo-with-machine-learning-sven-poder\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"TalTech AI Open Seminar \u201cProbing the Milky Way\u2019s Dark Matter Halo with Machine Learning\u201d - Sven P\u00f5der | AI Focus Center\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"We are pleased to invite all\u00a0TalTech\u00a0academic staff and AI enthusiasts to the next\u00a0TalTech\u00a0AI monthly research seminar, taking place on 6...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/ai.taltech.ee\/en\/events\/taltech-ai-open-seminar-probing-the-milky-ways-dark-matter-halo-with-machine-learning-sven-poder\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"AI Focus Center\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-01-02T11:53:27+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ai.taltech.ee\\\/en\\\/events\\\/taltech-ai-open-seminar-probing-the-milky-ways-dark-matter-halo-with-machine-learning-sven-poder\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ai.taltech.ee\\\/en\\\/events\\\/taltech-ai-open-seminar-probing-the-milky-ways-dark-matter-halo-with-machine-learning-sven-poder\\\/\",\"name\":\"TalTech AI Open Seminar \u201cProbing the Milky Way\u2019s Dark Matter Halo with Machine Learning\u201d - Sven P\u00f5der | AI Focus Center\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ai.taltech.ee\\\/en\\\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2026-01-02T11:50:45+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-01-02T11:53:27+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ai.taltech.ee\\\/en\\\/events\\\/taltech-ai-open-seminar-probing-the-milky-ways-dark-matter-halo-with-machine-learning-sven-poder\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/ai.taltech.ee\\\/en\\\/events\\\/taltech-ai-open-seminar-probing-the-milky-ways-dark-matter-halo-with-machine-learning-sven-poder\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ai.taltech.ee\\\/en\\\/events\\\/taltech-ai-open-seminar-probing-the-milky-ways-dark-matter-halo-with-machine-learning-sven-poder\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Blog\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ai.taltech.ee\\\/en\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"S\u00fcndmused\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ai.taltech.ee\\\/en\\\/events\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"TalTech AI Open Seminar \u201cProbing the Milky Way\u2019s Dark Matter Halo with Machine Learning\u201d &#8211;
