Smart Light: Machine Learning control of lasers and applications in nonlinear optics

Machine learning is a field of artificial intelligence that applies advanced techniques from statistics and numerical analysis to carry out tasks without explicit programmed instructions. Recent years have seen dramatic impact of machine learning in society, with commonplace applications in health-care, autonomous vehicles, and language processing. The impact of machine learning on basic research has been just as significant, and the use of advanced algorithmic tools in data analysis has resulted in new insights into many areas of science.
