SUMMARY:Benjamin Nachman - Reimagining the exploration of fundamental interactions with AI
DESCRIPTION:
 Abstract\n
 \n
 "Particle, nuclear, and astrophysics 
 experiments are producing massive amounts 
 of data to answer fundamental questions 
 about the basic constituents of our universe. 
  While researchers in these areas have been 
 using advanced data science tools for decades, 
 modern machine learning has introduced a paradigm 
 shift whereby data can be directly analyzed 
 holistically without first compressing 
 it into a more manageable and human understandable 
 format.  How will the machines help us 
 explore the unknown?  Can they be trusted to 
 give us the right answers?  I'll attempt to address 
 these questions and others with a talk 
 about the use of modern machine learning, including 
 generative artificial intelligence (AI), 
 in the study of fundamental interactions."\n

 Bio\n
 Benjamin 
 Nachman earned his PhD 
 in physics and a PhD minor in statistics from 
 Stanford University in 2016. He then was a 
 Chamberlain Postdoctoral Fellow in the Physics 
 Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory 
 (LBNL). In 2020, Nachman became a staff 
 scientist at LBNL, where he leads the Machine 
 Learning for Fundamental Physics Group. This 
 group develops, adapts, and deploys machine 
 learning/artificial intelligence to problems 
 in particle, nuclear, and astrophysics.\n
