Exploring the Universe with SNAD: Anomaly Detection in Astronomy

SNAD is an international project with a primary focus on detecting astronomical anomalies within large-scale surveys, using active learning and other machine learning algorithms. The work carried out by SNAD not only contributes to the discovery and classification of various astronomical phenomena but also enhances our understanding and implementation of machine learning techniques within the field of astrophysics. This paper provides a review of the SNAD project and summarizes the advancements and achievements made by the team over several years.
