The Fast Machine Learning for Science Conference 2025 will be hosted by ETH Zurich September 1-5th, 2025.

As experimental methods continue to evolve, generating increasingly complex and high-resolution datasets,ย machine learning (ML) is becoming an essential tool across numerous scientific disciplines. This conference will explore emerging ML methods and their applications in scientific discovery, focusing on processing technologies and strategies to accelerate deep learning and inference.

Topics

Topics include, but are not limited to:

Machine Learning Algorithm Design & Optimization

  • Novel efficient architectures
  • Hyperparameter optimization and tuning
  • Model compression (quantization, sparsity)
  • Hardware/software co-design for ML efficiency

Accelerated Inference & Real-Time Processing

  • Low-latency ML for scientific experiments
  • FPGA/GPU-based ML acceleration
  • ML for trigger systems and data acquisition
  • On-detector and edge inference

Scalable & Distributed ML Systems

  • Cloud-based, accelerated ML processing
  • Distributed inference
  • Acceleration-as-a-service

Advanced Hardware & Computing Architectures

  • Specialized AI accelerators
  • Heterogeneous computing platforms for ML
  • Beyond CMOS

Scientific Applications of Fast ML

  • High-energy physics, astrophysics and astronomy
  • Space science and satellite-based ML
  • Genomics and medical imaging
  • Climate and environmental modeling
  • Material Science
  • Robotics
