NCTS Summer Course on Scientific Machine Learning(7/17-8/8)

Scientific machine learning (SciML) is an emerging interdisciplinary field of research that integrates traditional scientific disciplines with machine learning methods to solve complex scientific problems. The primary goal of SciML is to enable researchers to leverage the power of machine learning to accelerate scientific discovery and to build predictive models that can simulate and optimize complex scientific systems. Scientific machine learning methods can be applied to a wide range of scientific fields, including applied mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, geoscience, climate science, and materials science, among others. In this summer course, we aim to introduce the latest advances in scientific machine learning. Specifically, we will introduce fast algorithms in evaluating multivariate normal distributions and the transformer model; compressed representations of layer and volume potentials using algebraic variety; random Fourier features in machine learning; operator learning in PDE problems. We hope to provide new perspectives and directions for scholars and academics to study machine learning in science.
