Machine learning for complete intersection Calabi-Yau manifolds

International audienceWe describe the recent developments in using machine learning techniques to compute Hodge numbers of complete intersection Calabi-Yau (CICY) 3- and 4-folds. The main motivation is to understand how to study data from algebraic geometry and solve problems relevant for string theory with machine learning. We describe the state-of-the art methods which reach near-perfect accuracy for several Hodge numbers, and discuss extrapolating from low to high Hodge numbers, and conversely
