These notes are based on lectures I gave at TASI 2024 on Physics for Machine Learning. The focus is on neural network theory, organized according to network expressivity, statistics, and dynamics. I present classic results such as the universal approximation theorem and neural network / Gaussian process correspondence, and also more recent results such as the neural tangent kernel, feature learning with the maximal update parameterization, and Kolmogorov-Arnold networks. The exposition on neural network theory emphasizes a field theoretic perspective familiar to theoretical physicists. I elaborate on connections between the two, including a neural network approach to field theory.

  1. Pre-Strings Lectures on Artificial Intelligence

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 5.5 of 10

    Lecture notes define neural-network field theory and survey how it recovers known QFT/string results plus applied AI techniques for string problems.

  2. Shedding Light on Dark Matter at the LHC with Machine Learning

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A machine-learned LHC analysis projects 5-sigma sensitivity to singlino-dominated NMSSM dark matter via radiative higgsino decays to photons, covering higgsino masses up to 225 GeV.

  3. Toward Supporting Narrative-Driven Data Exploration: Barriers and Design Opportunities

    cs.HC 2025-08 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    Clustering particles by mass, spin, lifetime and decay modes with conventional tools reproduces known Standard Model groupings, but the dataset and algorithm choices quietly encode the theory being 'rediscovered'.
