MS 6: Machine Learning and Simulation Science

The goal of the project network is the development and integration of methods and algorithms from the field of machine learning for the problem of solving problems in the simulation sciences, and to learn from the simulation sciences to build better machine learning models. Important examples are the design of surrogate models for complex physical models from fluid mechanics or structural mechanics. The Machine Learning and Simulation Science mini-symposium aims to provide an informal, inter-disciplinary, and leading-edge venue for research and discussions at the interface of machine learning (ML) and the simulation sciences. This interface spans (1) applications of ML in simulation science (ML for Sim), (2) developments in ML motivated by insights from the simulation sciences (Sim for ML), and most recently (3) convergence of ML and simulations sciences (Sim with ML) which leads to questions about what scientific exploration and understanding are in a world where AI and ML-supported science becomes more ubiquitous.
