\n AI Reasoning in Theoretical Physics with TPBench and MadEvolve <\/a><\/h3>\n <\/div>\n\n \n
\n Sept. 9, 2026, 3:30 pm US\/Central <\/div> \n\n
\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Moritz Munchmeyer, University of Wisconsin - Madison <\/div>\n \n
\n Large language models are increasingly being used by physicists to assist with mathematical reasoning at the research frontier. In this talk, I will briefly introduce TPBench, a benchmark dataset designed to evaluate and improve AI models on theoretical-physics reasoning tasks. I will then discuss how test-time scaling and symbolic verification can improve both performance and... More »<\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/article>\n \n

\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Isaac Smith, Guest Composer at Fermilab <\/div>\n \n
\n Artificial Intelligence is an omnipresent term in every field, but what does it mean for music? This lecture will explore some answers to that question. It will focus on three areas: studio production, performance, and research, unpacking the tools being used and the challenges being faced by each. AI raises many questions in the arts:...
