The TASKA use case was successfully presented on 09 December 2025 within the framework of the 11th Annual Science At Low Frequencies Conference (SALF XI). The event marked an important milestone for the EXTRACT project, enabling dissemination of the TASKA findings and demonstrating the maturity and impact of its results to the international radio astronomy community.
TASKA Demo
EXTRACT partners from the Observatoire de Paris gave a live demonstration of TASKA, highlighting the project’s innovative extreme-data mining workflow for automated data analysis, orchestration and event detection. The demo showed how EXTRACT technologies can support next-generation observatories and data-intensive research pipelines.
Baptiste Cecconi gave an introductory overview of the EXTRACT project and the TASKA use cases.

Around 40 participants attended the session to learn more about TASKA and EXTRACT technologies, with several follow-up discussions occurring after the demo. Many participants expressed their interest in the workflow orchestrator developed within EXTRACT, highlighting its relevance for operational research environments and confirming the practical value and transferability of TASKA results.
Looking ahead
Participation in SALF XI provided important visibility for EXTRACT and TASKA among leading researchers in low-frequency radio astronomy. It reinforced the project’s contribution to science using extreme-data and showed how EXTRACT technologies can support the evolving needs of the European and international radio astronomy landscape.
As a result of the participation in SALF XI, partners involved in the TASKA case have been approached to present EXTRACT and TASKA at the upcoming SKA Regional Network meeting. Stay tuned for more information!
