Scientific Machine Learning, or SciML for short, is a new and exciting area that combines science with machine learning. Recently, it's led to some interesting breakthroughs. However, using machine learning for scientific problems isn't easy. One big issue is that the models we use in machine learning are often complex and hard to understand. SciML tries to solve this by breaking down these complicated models into smaller, easier-to-understand pieces. This way, we can use well-known scientific methods to study them better. Plus, by adding in what we already know about the science behind the problems, we can make the models' predictions more reliable and easier to explain.
We meet every two weeks to talk about the latest methods at the intersection of machine learning and dynamical systems. This seminar aims to explore challenges and solutions to make machine learning models more trustworthy and easy to understand for scientific applications. The seminar is hosted by
