The Genetic Algorithms and their cosmological applications

When: Wednesday, October 27, 2021, 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM
Where: , Mile End

Speaker: Savvas Nesseris (IFT Madrid)

In the last decade or so, machine learning (ML) has become a very useful tool in cosmology. In this talk I will describe a particular ML approach called the Genetic Algorithms (GA) that can be used to determine the nature of dark energy and probe for deviations  from the cosmological constant model (LCDM). In particular, I will provide several interesting applications of the GA using late time distance and large scale structure data, along with a plethora of new consistency tests of LCDM, such as the Om statistic etc.
