SUMMARY:Seeing with Structure: Physics and The Art of Model-Building\,
  NPAC (Nuclear/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum\, Dr. Garrett Merz\, Univer
 sity of Wisconsin - Madison
DESCRIPTION:Physics datasets are highly structured\, and studying how 
 and when this structure is (or is not) learnable by neural network mod
 els offers an exciting new way to pose questions about our data. In th
 is talk\, I will explore applications of this thinking to problems in 
 both experimental and theoretical high-energy physics: to the discover
 y of new patterns in the mathematical structure of theoretical physics
  data\, to large-scale "Foundation Modelling" questions that span dive
 rse experimental settings ranging from collider physics to cosmology\,
  and to pose future questions that might allow us to bridge the gap be
 tween experimental and theoretical domains.  By studying how and when 
 models represent symmetries and patterns\, I explore ways in which phy
 sicists can use models themselves as structure probes\, which may enab
 le radically new ways of formulating questions about the Universe.
