Advanced Machine Learning for Physics and Scientific Discovery (PW-ML)10 ECTS
(englische Bezeichnung: Advanced Machine Learning for Physics and Scientific Discovery)
(Prüfungsordnungsmodul: Advanced Machine Learning for Physics and Scientific Discovery)

Lectures:

• • Advanced Machine Learning for Physics and Scientific Discovery
    (Hauptseminar, 4 SWS, Florian Marquardt, Mon, Wed, 18:00 - 19:30)

Inhalt:

We will describe advanced modern methods of artificial intelligence and their potential application to artificial scientific discovery, in physics and other fields. This includes:

• representation learning (including deep variational autoencoders etc.)

• active learning (how a neural network can choose suitable training samples on its own)

• reinforcement learning and optimization methods

• graph neural networks

• generative neural networks (learning to sample from an observed statistical distribution)

• transformers and other attention-based methods

• advanced concepts from information science and statistics (e.g. mutual information)

• automated program discovery

• applications in quantum physics, statistical physics, dynamical systems
