Celestial Machine Learning: From Data to Mars and Beyond with AI Feynman

Machine Learning 2023-12-18 v1

Abstract

Can a machine or algorithm discover or learn Kepler's first law from astronomical sightings alone? We emulate Johannes Kepler's discovery of the equation of the orbit of Mars with the Rudolphine tables using AI Feynman, a physics-inspired tool for symbolic regression.
