Educational TalkPhiala Shanahan: Machine learning for sampling high-dimensional probability distributions in lattice field theory
April 30 at 12pm
Northside, Berkeley
Hear how MIT physicist Phiala Shanahan is using machine learning to crack problems in quantum field theory that have stumped researchers for decades. This free talk dives into flow-based generative models and the elegant math behind preserving symmetries in high-dimensional spaces. Bring your lunch and your curiosity: it's rare to see frontier physics made this accessible.
