ACROSS A.I.'S UNIVERSE

 

Detecting Anomalies

Fundamental Physics

Particle collisions at the Large Hadron Collider generate more data each hour than Facebook does annually. Machine learning helped scientists sift through it to discover the Higgs boson in 2012.

Decoding Whale Sounds

Linguistics

Researchers use generative adversarial networks to infer which sounds in sperm-whale vocalisations are most meaningful to the animals, a step towards decoding the whales communication system.

Quantifying Uncertainty

Research Methods

AI can track uncertainties and errors through a complex experiment or observation. For example, from an initial measurement in a telescope to the last step of a computer analysis.
