Can We Discover Physical Models Using Machine Learning? A Case Study of Galaxy Sizes

We explore the ability of machine learning methods to discover underlying equations of physics by searching for the equations governing galaxy size in a semianalytic model. This case study allows us to evaluate the process as we know the ground truth. We find that we fail to find an equation to pred...
