The modular bootstrap has been a powerful tool for carving out the landscape of allowed two-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs). In this talk, I describe a complementary approach to standard modular bootstrap bounds: using modern machine learning strategies to actively search for CFT spectra that yield a valid torus partition function. Using insights from statistical inference and a custom
