AbstractArtificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) offer significant potential to revolutionize the fundamentals of scientific computation and discovery today. The goal of this seminar course is to expose student to the recent development of "AI for Science".
Learning objectiveThe aim of this course is to showcase how AI techniques, such as deep learning, can enhance scientific research in the field of Physics. Students will first learn about relevant scientific models, such as key Partial Differential Equations and their
associated dynamical systems. They will also explore various AI methods designed to advance traditional approaches. Furthermore, we will guide students through the actual implementation of foundational algorithms, enabling them to address critical scientific issues hands-on.
Content1. Introduction to related scientific models.
2. AI methods designed to address the
scientific problem.
3. Implementation of some fundamental algorithms.
LiteratureThe related papers will be released in the first session of the seminar.
Prerequisites / NoticeBasic knowledge of multivariate calculus, linear algebra, probablilty theory.
The student is assumed to be familiar with Python.
