Where to find the next Earth: Machine learning accelerates the search for habitable planets
phys.org
A team from the University of Bern and the National Center of Competence in Research (NCCR) PlanetS has developed a machine-learning model that predicts potential planetary systems with Earth-like planets. The model could significantly accelerate and thus revolutionize the future search for habitable planets in the universe.

Note - where ‘Earth-like’ is defined as planets analogous to Earth in terms of mass and equilibrium temperature.

    “Earth like,” in the same way Venus is “Earth like.” The universe will torment us by showing just how creative it can be in conjuring new and ever-more imaginative visions of Hell. We will have to scour a billion star systems before we find a world even marginally habitable to life of our kind.
