Description
Astrophysical tau neutrinos were predicted for a long time, but only recently has IceCube been able to identify those at the 5 sigma significance level. The key to this discovery was using machine learning methods to analyse the data. In this talk, I will first give a brief overview of the analysis and results before we dive deeper into the neural nets. We will try to understand how they work and discuss what surprising things we learned.
