Description: Physicists are conducting increasingly complex experiments in the hope of advancing our understanding of the universe. To fully exploit the discovery potential of these experiments it will be crucial to use optimal methods of data analysis. Since physical processes are generally characterized by many variables, optimal methods are necessarily multivariate, and neural networks are the most promising of them. These have the potential to revolutionize data exploration in high energy physics -- witness, as a recent example, the spectacular success with which neural networks have been used in top quark physics and searches for new particles.
