Artificial intelligence in fundamental physics: from modeling to understanding

Abstract
Artificial intelligence tools are becoming ubiquitous in everyday life as a tool for facilitating and speeding up tasks, such as accessing information. In fundamental physics they are instead being used as tools for discovery.

Specifically drawing from examples in high-energy physics, I show that AI and machine learning are making possible the access to otherwise hidden information on physical systems, through modeling, performing inference, generalizing, and finding connections that would otherwise be very difficult or impossible to achieve.
