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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
