New AI Algorithm Enhances Dark Matter Detection

David Harvey's deep-learning model distinguishes dark matter interactions from cosmic noise with high accuracy.

  • Algorithm developed by David Harvey at EPFL uses deep learning to analyze galaxy cluster images.
  • The model, named 'Inception,' achieves 80% accuracy in identifying dark matter self-interactions.
  • Inception distinguishes between dark matter effects and active galactic nuclei feedback.
  • The AI maintains its performance even with observational noise, simulating real telescope data.
  • This method promises to accelerate dark matter research using data from future telescopes like Euclid.
