Description
The oldest, and one of the most promising, attempts of connecting string theory to low energy physics has been the compactification of $E_8 \times E_8$ Heterotic string theory on Calabi-Yau 3-folds.
In this talk I will (attempt to) give a pedagogical overview of such constructions, and string model building in general. The talk will then finish with a discussion of recent work, where modern computational methods (specifically reinforcement learning and genetic algorithms) have been applied to finding realistic models within these environments.
