Using this algorithm, Peter Xiangyuan Ma, a University of Toronto undergraduate student and researcher, said researchers were able to discover eight new radio signals being emitted from five different stars about 30 to 90 light years away from the Earth.

A new artificial intelligence algorithm created by a Toronto student is helping researchers search the stars for signs of life.

Using this algorithm, Ma said researchers were able to discover eight new radio signals being emitted from five different stars about 30 to 90 light years away from the Earth. “You've got to recognize the haystack itself and make sure that you don't throw the needle away as you're looking at the individual pieces of hay,” Croft, who collaborated on Ma’s research, told CTV News Toronto.

Researchers have been searching the sky for technologically-generated signals since the 1960s, searching thousands of stars and galaxies for signs of intelligent life. The process is called “SETI,” or “the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence.”
