Deep Learning in the Cosmos: Ranking 3 Machine Learning (ML) Applications

Deep learning has helped advance the state-of-the-art in multiple fields over the last decade, with scientific research as no exception. We've previously discussed Deepmind's impressive debut in protein folding prediction, as well as a project by Stanford students studying protein complex binding operations, which are both examples of using deep learning to study very small things. Deep learning has likewise found applications in scientific research at the opposite end of the scale spectrum. In this post we'll discuss some recent applications of deep learning used to study cosmology, aka the study of the universe. As you might imagine, this topic encompasses a wide variety of sub-categories. We'll also include a link to each project's public repository when possible so you can check them out for yourself.
