DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence/Machine learning (AI/ML)\, especially 
 deep learning\, is becoming increasingly popular. Many also believe they a
 re having/will have transformational impacts on many scientific fields. Bu
 t important questions remain\, such as:\n- Are these methods really that d
 ifferent from traditional statistical approaches?\n- How\, exactly\, do th
 ey even work?\n- Why\, in particular\, should we even expect them to work?
 \n- And\, most importantly: what will it take to believe them when they ma
 ke novel discoveries?\nI'll try to lead discussion on some of these questi
 ons\, highlight some of the practical and philosophical areas they interse
 ct with\, and aim to provide some answers/perspectives on some of them (as
  time permits).
