Opis

Abstract:

This workshop is an introduction to physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) and neural operators. 

PINNs are a type of machine learning model that can be used to solve partial differential equations (PDEs), which are ubiquitous in physics, engineering, and other fields. PINNs work by embedding the physical laws that govern a given system into the learning process. This allows PINNs to learn accurate solutions to PDEs, even with very spare data.

Neural operators are a more general class of approximators that can be used to learn function-to-function mappings, including those described by PDEs.

Audience:
This workshop is for beginners (students, PhD candidates, academic staff) who have a basic understanding of math, python and machine learning. No prior knowledge of PINNs or Neural Operators is required.


Organizer:
The workshop is organized by:

Center4ML: University of Warsaw

EUROCC2: represented by Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling, University of Warsaw

The workshop will cover the following topics:

Introduction to the concept of PINNs and Neural Operators

Mathematical foundations of PINNs and Neural Operators

Implementation of PINNs and Neural Operators in Pytorch

Applications of PINNs and Neural Operators in science and engineering
