Neural Network Learns The Physics of Fluids and Smoke | Two Minute Papers #118
What it is
Two Minute Papers covers a paper on speeding up fluid and smoke simulation with convolutional networks. It contrasts the approach with earlier regression forest methods.
Why Hacker News recommends it
It is cited as an early example of neural networks learning physics, and recalled during later discussions of AI video generation.
