Discovering Symbolic Models from Deep Learning with Inductive Biases

At age 19, I read an interview of physicist Lee Smolin. The idea that a foreseeable limit exists on our understanding of physics by the end of my life was profoundly unsettling. I felt frustrated that I might never witness solutions to the great mysteries of science, no matter how hard I work. But… perhaps one can find a way to tear down this limit. Artificial intelligence presents a new regime of scientific inquiry, where we can automate the research process itself.
