  Appl Math: Rebecca Willett on "Mathematics in Scientific Machine Learning"

  McCormick-Engineering Sciences and Applied Mathematics (ESAM)

  11:00 AM Ruan Conference Room - lower level, Chambers Hall

  EVENT DETAILS

  Title: Mathematics in Scientific Machine Learning

  Speaker: Rebecca Willett, University of Chicago

  Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are poised to
  revolutionize the pace and nature of scientific discovery. The widespread adoption
  of AI in the sciences has the potential to integrate scientific inquiry with modes of
  hypothesis generation, data analysis, experimental design, and simulation,
  transforming our capacity to address scientific problems that currently seem
  insurmountable. The mathematical foundations of AI and ML are crucial for highquality,
  reproducible, AI-enabled scientific research. However, blindly applying AI
  and ML poses significant risks, such as the rapid acceleration of the “reproducibility
  crisis” in science. In this talk, I will discuss fundamental machine learning
  challenges and opportunities that are particularly relevant to scientific discovery,
  such as emulators, generative models, and inverse problems. These problems
  underscore the importance of incorporating mathematical and physical models as
  well as numerical algorithms into ML frameworks, highlighting exciting directions for
  future work.

  Please note: as a joint colloquium with the Department of Statistics and Data Science this talk is on Friday at 11 in Chambers Hall.
