Today we’re talking to Matt Levine. Matt is a PhD student in computing and mathematical sciences at Caltech, and he focuses on improving the prediction and inference of physical systems by blending together both mechanistic modeling and machine learning.
This episode is one of my favorites: we go pretty deep into dynamical systems, and into Matt's new framework for solving them by blending traditional, mechanistic, approaches with machine learning. This is a fascinating use of machine learning, and hopefully gets us one step closer to the automation of science, in general.
