Trees and Islands -- Machine learning approach to nuclear physics

Understand

We implement machine learning algorithms to nuclear data.

• These algorithms are purely data driven and generate models that are capable to capture intricate trends.
• Gradient boosted trees algorithm is employed to generate a trained model from existing nuclear data, which is used for prediction for data of damping parameter, shell correction energies, quadrupole deformation, pairing gaps, level densities and giant dipole resonance for large number of nuclei.
• We, in particular, predict level density parameter for superheavy elements which is of great current interest.
