The Emmy Noether junior research group "From Bias to Knowledge: The
Epistemology of Machine Learning," led by Dr. Tom Sterkenburg,
investigates the philosophical foundations of machine learning. The
group's main aim is to improve our understanding of inductive bias, by
building bridges between the philosophy of science and the mathematical
theory of machine learning. The group is embedded within the Munich
Center for Mathematical Philosophy (MCMP) at LMU Munich.
We are looking for a PhD candidate with an excellent master's degree in
philosophy, logic, computer science, or related areas. You have a
background and strong interest in the philosophy of artificial
intelligence and/or philosophy of science, and ideally affinity with the
mathematics and epistemology of machine learning.
Deadline for applications: 1 May 2024. Intended starting date: 1 October
2024.

Dear all,
The next speaker in our Seminar for machine learning and UQ in scientific computing will be Nils Thuerey, associate-professor at the TU Munich. He will talk about creating probabilistic surrogates using diffusion models and differentiable solvers, see the abstract below. The talk will take place at 11AM CET. For those at CWI, the location will be L017 and a Zoom link is attached for online attendees.
Kind regards,
Wouter Edeling

28 March 2024 11h00 CET, Nils Thuerey, Probabilistic Fluid Simulations: Diffusion Models & Differentiable Solvers
This talk focuses on the possibilities that arise from recent advances in the area of deep learning for physics simulations. In particular, it will focus on diffusion modeling and numerical solvers which are differentiable. These solvers provide crucial information for deep learning tasks in the form of gradients, which are especially important for time-dependent processes. Also, existing numerical methods for efficient solvers can be leveraged within learning tasks. This paves the way for hybrid solvers in which traditional methods work alongside pre-trained neural network components. In this context, diffusion models and score matching will be discussed as powerful building blocks for training probabilistic surrogates. The capabilities of the resulting methods will be illustrated with examples such as wake flows and turbulent flow cases.
