AI reveals unsuspected math underlying search for exoplanets: Machine learning algorithm points to problems in mathematical theory for interpreting microlenses - Science Daily

The astronomers' goal: find an artificial intelligence algorithm to interpret microlensing events captured by the upcoming Roman Space Telescope and speed detection of exoplanets around other stars. They achieved that, but the AI told them something unexpecte…

Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms trained on real astronomical observations now outperform astronomers in sifting through massive amounts of data to find new exploding stars, identify new types… [+9123 chars]
