Contents
We will describe advanced modern methods of artificial intelligence and their potential application to artificial scientific discovery, in physics and other fields. This includes:
  • representation learning (including deep variational autoencoders etc.)

  • active learning (how a neural network can choose suitable training samples on its own)

  • reinforcement learning and optimization methods

  • graph neural networks

  • generative neural networks (learning to sample from an observed statistical distribution)

  • transformers and other attention-based methods

  • advanced concepts from information science and statistics (e.g. mutual information)

  • automated program discovery

  • applications in quantum physics, statistical physics, dynamical systems
