Just getting started While other groups have used machine learning to come up with predictions about where different kinds of metallic glass can be found, Mehta said, «The unique thing we have done is to rapidly verify our predictions with experimental measurements and then repeatedly cycle the results back into the next round of machine learning and experiments.»

If the measurement for carbon - 14 age has Gaussian error with standard deviation 100 (as seems about right for Nic's Fig. 2), and the measurement is rounded to one decimal place, and the calibration curve maps calendar age 750 to carbon - 14 age 1000, then the probability of the observation being 1000.0 given that the calendar age is 750 is 0.1 (for one decimal place) times the probability density at 1000 of a Gaussian distribution with mean 1000 and standard deviation 100, which works out to 0.0004.
