Machine learning and AI are revolutionizing the sciences, reshaping everything from how we ask questions to how we build theories. At the same time, the complexity of modern deep neural networks, datasets, and computational paradigms urges us to look for new perspectives to unravel their inner machinations.
This symposium will explore the interplay between deep learning, AI, statistical mechanics, neuroscience, scientific machine learning, and applied harmonic analysis. We will discuss how AI may crack outstanding scientific problems like earthquake dynamics or the multi-scale structure of images and language, but also how drawing on analytical and experimental wisdom from neuroscience, physics, biology, ...—fields that have long grappled with extraordinary complexities—can help us better understand AI itself.
