THE AI ANGLE
Extracting Milky Way neutrino emissions from detector dataFrancis Halzen won the Nobel Prize in physics for cosmic neutrino research at the IceCube observatory. Modern neural networks enabled his team to detect neutrino emissions from the Milky Way in their data. Physicists can now use machine learning to extract previously hidden astrophysical signals from large detector datasets.
