AI

Tara Shears, a physics professor from the University of Liverpool, discusses
what AI can do for physics and what physics can do for AI.

Physics may seem like its own world, but different sectors using machine learning are all part of the same universe.

Scientists inside and outside of particle physics and astrophysics are leaning on AI for assistance with complex tasks.

For more than 20 years in experimental particle physics and astrophysics, machine learning has been accelerating the pace of science, helping scientists tackle problems of greater and greater complexity.

Don’t know your convolutional neural networks from your boosted decision trees? Symmetry is here to help.

A research team as part of the the Dark Energy Survey collaboration used artificial intelligence to research dark energy more precisely from a map of dark and visible matter in the Universe covering the last seven billion years. The new AI technique allowed researchers to use much more information from the maps than would be possible with the previous method.

The Trillion Parameter Consortium was recently launched bringing together science teams to address key challenges in advancing AI for science. Fermilab is part of this international group that includes researchers from federal laboratories, research institutes, academia, and industry.

From U Chicago News, August 8, 2023: University of Chicago has announced that the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay has joined the Chicago Quantum Exchange to promote cooperation in fields such as quantum information science, climate and energy, advanced microelectronics, artificial intelligence and data science. The announcement was made at at the G20 summit in New Delhi, India and joins the CQE as one of only five international partners.

Particle physicists are building innovative machine-learning algorithms to enhance Monte Carlo simulations with the power of AI.

Associate scientist Jennifer Ngadiuba received two top awards last fall to advance artificial intelligence and machine-learning research in high-energy physics.
