Theoretical physicists use machine-learning algorithms to speed up difficult calculations and eliminate untenable theories—but could they transform what it means to make discoveries? Theoretical ...

Work you complete in the non-credit experience will transfer to the for-credit experience when you upgrade and pay tuition. See How It Works for details. A previous version of Machine Learning: Theory ...

String theory captured the hearts and minds of many physicists decades ago because of a beautiful simplicity. Zoom in far enough on a patch of space, the theory says, and you won’t see a menagerie of ...

In providing the ability to discover patterns buried deep within data, machine learning has the potential to make applications more powerful and more responsive to users’ needs. Well-tuned algorithms ...

Machine learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence, which explores how to computationally simulate (or surpass) humanlike intelligence. While some AI techniques (such as expert systems) use ...
