Thank you @saintgermain.bsky.social for the nice and comprehensive summary of our new paper! I'm so happy this nice work is finally out 😊✨
🚀 New Paper Alert! 🚀
We're excited to share our latest work at UdeA, recently published in Astronomy & Astrophysics. We show how machine learning can cut down the manual workload in rotational diagram analysis, directly decoding mm-wave spectra! 🧵 #Astronomy
