Introduction to Eureqa (2/2)

Eureqa is a software tool for detecting equations and hidden mathematical relationships in your data. Its primary goal is to identify the simplest mathematical formulas which could describe the underlying mechanisms that produced the data. Eurequa is free to download and use: http://ccsl.mae.cornell.edu/eureqa

Technological Singularity here we come!

This.

Is awesome.

Yeah that does it i want to study the source code.

But more importantly how would it behave with data from the quantum physics area ?

Perhaps somebody should test if this thing can find the connection between the big and the small world ?

Or perhaps test it with another big question: The grand unification energy ( the electromagnetic force, weak force, and strong force )

Now that would be VERY interesting to watch, how about making such a video ?

@Kinokarte This algorithm came up with, in just a few hours, an equation for explaining the energy mechanics of a double-pendulum (or something to that effect, I forget the details).  Something that humans have been unable to do with upwards of 100 years.

this is awesome. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I've been programming some neural nets to help me out, and this has saved me hours (maybe years) or work. Its really pointing me in the right direction.

Now if only it could help me interpret the equations, haha.

Nice, but if it takes 1 minute to find a good solution for such a simple problem, I am not sure if it will be useful for solving actual difficult problems where a trained scientist does not immediately the correct formula...

Okay, the computer can learn physics. And we have also developed artificial intelligence. So we should be near the Judgment Day seen in Terminator...! :P

Ok, the differential eq. feature is cool and totally unique. How parallelizable is this program (say that I got a 80 computer cluster to run this)?

[quorsav]

Very interesting. I gave it a shot. This will be useful in our lab.

P.S. from the first video, there is an excel shortcut. Select that top data point and hit ctrl-shift-down arrow and it will select the column of data.
