🤔Can AI reveal hidden structure in the Standard Model? A new paper by @svchekanov @hakankj in Particles proposes a research program using #AI to tackle the longstanding problem of many free parameters of the Standard Model. Welcome to read and discuss mdpi.com/2571-712X/8/4/95

The dedicated page for Picat PPL is hakank.org/picat/ppl . And at GitHub: github.com/hakank/hakank/tre… . Also, the published files can be downloaded from the Zip file: hakank.org/picat/ppl/all_pub… . This file will be updated when changes are done. 4/n

The Picat PPL page includes documentation of the features of Picat PPL as well as over 550 probabilistic programming models. (In total, it's now over 115 000 lines, including comments and output of the models.) 5/5

Just committed some #Picat programs: github.com/hakank/hakank/com… It's mostly puzzles solved by my Symbolic Regression module (hakank.org/picat/#symbolic_r… ) (Just to clear the list in preparation for a fairly large update of a new #Picat toolkit models, expected to be released soon. )

The found analytic solution depends on only two input parameters, representing the simplest mathematical model that could provide a foundation for developing a future theoretical framework to address the SM. 5/n
