- Abstract Deadline: February 1, 2019
- Hotel Deadline: January 28, 2019

Recent breakthroughs in machine learning (ML), including the stunning
successes of AlphaZero and AlphaGo, have demonstrated tremendous
potential for transforming scientific computing. The application of
these exciting advances in algorithms and computer architectures to
the computational modeling and simulation community introduces several
additional requirements and challenges beyond traditional applications
such as data analytics and computer vision. These include physical
constraints (the subject of CNLS Physics-Informed Machine Learning
workshops in 2016 and 2018), the need for uncertainty quantification
(UQ), and computational requirements for embedded ML models, e.g. for
parameter tuning, sub-scale physics models, optimization, UQ, or data
assimilation. This workshop will bring together international leaders
in the development and application of ML methods for fluid and solid
dynamics.

Applications include: ML-based interatomic potentials for molecular
dynamics simulation; Scale-bridging via ML-based closure relations /
constitutive relationships; Flow through nanoporous media; Inertial
confinement fusion; Fluid turbulence.

Note: There will be some funds available to cover registration for
students and postdocs, on a first come, first serve basis. Please
contact the organizers.

Subject: New Journal, Foundations of Data Science


We have just launched a new journal on data science, and are now
inviting submissions.

http://www.aimsciences.org/journal/A0000-0002

The scope of the journal is listed below. Work involving the
application of Numerical Analysis to data science problems, for
example in the context of Data Assimilation, Machine Learning, or HPC,
is in scope. Please consider sending us your work in this area!

Foundations of Data Science invites submissions focusing on advances
in mathematical, statistical, and computational methods for data
science. Results should significantly advance current understanding
of data science, by algorithm development, analysis, and/or
computational implementation which demonstrates behavior and
applicability of the algorithm. Fields covered by the journal include,
but are not limited to Bayesian Statistics, High Performance
Computing, Inverse Problems, Data Assimilation, Machine Learning,
Optimization, Topological Data Analysis, Spatial Statistics,
Nonparametric Statistics, Uncertainty Quantification, and Data Centric
Engineering. Expository and review articles are welcome. Papers which
focus on applications in science and engineering are also encouraged,
however the method(s) used should be applicable outside of one
specific application domain.
