How Artificial Intelligence Can Supercharge The Search For New Particles

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and most powerful particle collider. It peers into the depths of the universe by smashing subatomic particles into each other at incredibly high speeds. The result: the particles unravel and, using a myriad of detectors, we get a glimpse at what lies inside them. We hopefully also gain answers to some of the mysteries of the universe.

One of the big problems, however, is the enormous amount of data that bursts forth from these collisions. So much so that sifting through it is a daunting if not impossible task — at least for a human, that is.

But with the power of machine learning, we can actually make sense of this data. We can begin to uncover mysteries of the universe at an unprecedented rate.

It will be exciting to see what may come from the merging of these two technologies.
