Description

School description

The objective of the Machine Learning for Physics school, organised by the COMETA COST Action, the SMARTHEP European training network, theย SMASH MSCN COFUND and the University of Ljubljana is to provide participants from diverse backgrounds a solid knowledge on cutting edge machine learning topics.

In order to be accessible to many, the first three days of the school will be organised in two parallel sessions: one focussing on fundamentals, and the other on real-time applications of machine learning. Each single day will feature specific subjects and students will be able to select their own attending plan according to the daily schedule.

The second part of the programme will be plenary and it will focus on machine learning applications for data analysis and physics use cases.

Each day will feature morning lectures, afternoon exercises, and keynote talks, outreach or social activities in the evening.

Confirmed Topics - Trainers

  • Machine Learning fundamentals - Lorenzo Moneta (CERN)
  • Real-Time Machine Learning - Thea Aarrestad (ETH Zurich)
  • Unfolding with Machine Learning with physics examples - Sofia Palacios Schweitzer (University Heidelberg)
  • Uncertainties on Machine Learning predictions - Luigi Favaro (University Heidelberg and UCLouvain)
  • Statistics and Machine Learning - Lydia Brenner (NIKHEF)
  • Explainability in Machine Learning - Saso Dzeroski (IJS Ljubljana)
  • Foundation Models - Anna Hallin (Hamburg University)
