How Well Do We Understand Our Universe? Let's Python It Out!

Explore the intersection of cosmology and machine learning in this 29-minute conference talk from EuroPython 2023. Discover how Python and TensorFlow are used to create and analyze cosmological simulations, train AI models on galactic evolution, and apply these models to real galaxies. Learn about the process of dataset creation, probabilistic neural network training, and result visualization as speakers Eirini Angeloudi and Regina Sarmiento demonstrate how these techniques can help uncover the cosmic history of galaxies beyond the limitations of observing them at a single point in time.
