Mechanical engineering has traditionally relied on physics, mathematics, and empirical knowledge to design and optimize systems. Machine learning (ML) introduces powerful tools that can complement ...

Computer vision researchers use machine learning to train computers in visually recognizing objects but very few apply machine learning to mechanical parts, such as gearboxes, bearings, brakes, ...

Scientists have developed new approaches that significantly improve the accuracy of an important material testing technique by harnessing the power of machine learning. The new analytical technique ...

Machine learning is becoming an essential part of a physicist’s toolkit. How should new students learn to use it? When Radha Mastandrea started her undergraduate physics program at MIT in 2015, she ...
