Physics in Machine Learning Workshop

This workshop will focus on substantive connections between machine learning (including but not limited to deep learning) and physics (including astrophysics). Namely, we are interested in topics like imbuing physical laws into training (e.g., physics regularization of layers), learning new physical phenomena from learned models, physics-constrained reinforcement learning, prediction outside training parameters, causal inference, and the (physical) interpretability of models. Registration has closed for this event.

Travel

Those asking for travel support should hold off on making their own arrangements for now. We will be in touch separately on the travel logistics.

These are the workshop hotels if you are planning on making your own arrangements:

• Hotel Shattuck Plaza (www.hotelshattuckplaza.com)
• Graduate Berkeley Hotel (formerly Hotel Durant) (http://graduateberkeley.com)
• The Faculty Club (www.berkeleyfacultyclub.com)
• DoubleTree Berkeley Marina (www.doubletreeberkeleymarina.com)

Immediately following this Workshop, at the same venue, we will be putting on a related workshop for Inferencing in Multi-messenger Astrophysics (MMA). Participants are welcome in both. More...
