The Next Domain that Machine Learning Aims to Conquer is Hard Science
Hard sciences are also being revolutionized by machine learning
From email to the Internet, particle physicists, the hard sciences’ experts, have historically been early users of technology, if not its creators. Therefore, it is not unexpected that researchers began training computer models to tag particles in the chaotic jets produced by collisions as early as 1997. Since then, these models have plodded along, becoming increasingly more capable—although not everyone has been pleased with this development. Particle…
