Section Description
Scientific Machine Learning. Description: This course will cover the theory and practice of Scientific Machine Learning (SciML), which leverages machine learning tools for scientific computing. Topics include learning-based methods for differential equations, neural ODEs and PDEs, physics-informed networks and model discovery, interpretable and explainable learning, differentiable and probabilistic programming for scientific computing, and uncertainty quantification via learning. Efficient parallel implementation of algorithms on scalable computing architectures will be emphasized. Prerequisite: Familiarity with introductory numerical methods (e.g., CS 357, CS 450, or TAM 470), the basics of machine learning and neural networks, and some knowledge of numerical methods for PDEs (e.g. CS555 or similar) is expected.
