The school will cover a range of cutting-edge topics in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence for scientific applications.
It will focus on the interplay between computational challenges of deep learning-based AI and conceptual issues like validation of such learning systems. How will ML and AI meet high-performance computing to search for a symbiosis? What are the open scientific challenges?
The current trend to build Foundation Models as extremely high-dimensional data density estimators and their specialization to a wide range of application domains generates an enormous demand for computing that causes large energy consumption.
The summer school will discuss these open issues in lectures by leading specialists in the field and will provide hands-on practical courses to study these challenges.
ECTS points: 2 ECTS points will be awarded to doctoral students (master students will not be awarded any ECTS points)
Course structure
This immersive program is designed for in-person participation to foster interactive learning, collaboration, and networking. It will include keynote presentations, hands-on exercises guided by ORNL, NASA, and ETH Zurich mentors, and a panel discussion featuring prominent experts.
The school will include social activities such as a group excursion in the Heilbronn area and a visit to the Bildungscampus in Heilbronn and its associated innovation centers.
