A new study explores the large-scale distribution of galaxies through Interpretable Machine Learning
Using innovative techniques to make Artificial Intelligence more transparent, this study published in Physical Review Letters unveils how neural networks learn from the large-scale distribution of galaxies—demystifying a process that was once considered a “black...
Video: Why Do We Live in 4 DIMENSIONS? (No More, No Less)
A new outreach video on the IFT YouTube channel. Our everyday experience tells us that we live in four dimensions: three spatial and one temporal. However, string theory predicts the existence of ten dimensions, six of which are compactified, making them impossible...
