CERN is offering
prizes to developers who can make algorithms to study Higgs boson. Scientists
officially confirmed this “god particle” on July 4, 2012. CERN is the European
Organization for Nuclear Research. Researchers study changes happening to
particles or matter decay to understand their nature. In the ATLAS experiment,
they use the Large Hadron Collider to cause head on collisions of particles at
high energy. Idea here is to study the patterns of significance and apply them
to related studies. Researchers are encouraged to come up with such algorithms
that could prove useful.

One such example could be the decay of Higgs boson
into two tau particles. They could not study this in detail because of
background noise. Machine learning is now a reality and CERN is making sure
that talented people come up with solutions to exploit the facilities offered
to them. Organizations that are involved in this challenge are Google, INRIA –
a French computer science research institute and Center for Data Science of
Paris- Saclay. The first prize is $7,000, the second prize is $4,000 and the
third prize is $2,000.
