Yes, and we do it every day and call it 'linear regression' and don't need a data center full of expensive toys to do it

You do unsupervised learning without labels with a linear regression. Interesting. What would you regress in this case? The problem is the following: you have a point cloud of data (electronic signal from arrays arranged into an irregular pattern). You know the physics that was discovered. You are looking for rare events (one in a billion or less) and you don’t know what they look like.
