AI-assisted discovery of physics laws
In this Team Project, we will replicate a simplified version of "AI Feynman" (by Udrescu and Tegmark, 2020), an algorithm for finding a mathematical expression that matches data from an unknown function. We will then examine its capabilities and limitations by challenging its performance under various conditions, such as data availability and complexity of the underlying function. Through this project, we will gain insight into how the recent advances in AI and computing can help scientists and serve as a co-pilot of scientific discovery.
