Artificial Intelligence Assisted Understanding of the Universe

Astronomers have cataloged millions of stars and galaxies during the last few decades by surveying the sky across different wavelengths of light. In the near future, astronomical data volumes will reach unprecedented levels due to upcoming telescope surveys. Artificial intelligence (AI) enables not only automated studies of these large datasets, but also promises data-driven explorations of fundamental physical principles.

A subset of these crucial topics will be discussed in this presentation, with an emphasis on the relevance of AI in modern scientific studies and the profound impact it may have on research methods. The presentation will explore the estimations of the contents of the Universe, identification of rare astrophysical phenomena, and other key examples at the intersection of cosmology and scientific machine learning.
