Q1: Can we provide examples of machine-derived predictions or solutions where we no longer seek or require mechanistic models and theory? And are these new solutions robust and scaleable?
Q2: Can we provide examples of the successful combination of fundamental/parsimonious theory with machine based-prediction that might pave a path forward? That have in other words improved both prediction and explanation.
3:30 p.m. Break
Q3: What are novel data sets and problems of interest to SFI researchers, to include natural and social science, that might benefit from the expertise and resources of Google, and how might we collaborate to solve these problems?
