Description
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, built into a cubic kilometer of ice at
the South Pole, was completed in 2010 and has been in continuous
operation since then. Discovering the diffuse astrophysical neutrino
flux in 2013, and pinpointing the first high-energy neutrino sources
starting in 2018, IceCube has inaugurated the era of neutrino
astronomy. Progress has been not only incremental but occasionally
revolutionary, a result of large advances in computing that could not
have been foreseen when the detector was built. Such advances include
the detailed modeling of photon propagation in the glacial ice, and the
application of Deep Learning to event selection and reconstruction. In
this talk, I will review some of the latest results from IceCube, with
an eye toward where such innovations have had a large impact.
