... Starting from a grid of theoretical population synthesis models we constructed a set of model galaxies with a distribution of ages, metallicities and intrinsic reddening. ... We propose an optimization technique that combines active learning with an instance-based machine learning algorithm. ... In order to solve the problem more efficiently, we pose it as a learning problem, where a learning algorithm learns the reddening parameters , and with a forward model we compute . ...
