Celestial Machine Learning: From Data to Mars and Beyond with AI Feynman

arXiv:2312.09766v12 citationsh-index: 32DEXA
Originality Synthesis-oriented
AI Analysis

This work addresses the challenge of automated scientific discovery from data for astronomers and physicists, but it is incremental as it applies an existing method to a new dataset.

The paper tackled the problem of discovering Kepler's first law from astronomical data alone, using AI Feynman for symbolic regression to emulate Kepler's discovery with the Rudolphine tables, achieving successful emulation of the orbital equation.

Can a machine or algorithm discover or learn Kepler's first law from astronomical sightings alone? We emulate Johannes Kepler's discovery of the equation of the orbit of Mars with the Rudolphine tables using AI Feynman, a physics-inspired tool for symbolic regression.
