Description

Efforts to better understand the landscape and swampland can be stifled by computational complexity. I will discuss ways in which complexity could be overcome by learning random matrix approximations to string data, including both opportunities and caveats. As a concrete example, generative adversarial networks will be used to learn random matrix approximations to certain Calabi-Yau data, and physical implications will be discussed.
