Simons Foundation Lectures
Mathematics and Computer Science: Machine Learning in the Natural Sciences
The 2024 lecture series in mathematics and computer science is “Machine Learning in the Natural Sciences.” Machine learning has become a transformative tool for advancing science. In these lectures, scientists will discuss their use of machine learning in everything from biology and oceanography to astrophysics and particle physics. These applications are sparking discoveries while also helping scientists uncover what the tools are actually gleaning from data.
