PICS Colloquium: “Exploiting time-domain parallelism to accelerate neural network training and PDE constrained optimization” with Eric Cyr

PICS Large Conference Room – 534 3401 Walnut Street, 5A, Philadelphia

Title: Exploiting time-domain parallelism to accelerate neural network training and PDE constrained optimization Speaker: Eric Cyr, Principal Member of the Technical Staff at the Computer Science Research Institute at Sandia National Laboratories Abstract: This talk will explore methods for accelerating numerical optimization constrained by transient problems using parallelism. Two types of transient problems will be […]

PICS Workshop: Python Boot Camp

PICS Large Conference Room – 534 3401 Walnut Street, 5A, Philadelphia

Instructor: Arvind Bhusnurmath Title:  Python Boot Camp – from variables and simple statements to fun data visualizations Summary: In this boot camp we will begin from the basics of Python programming (assuming little to no programming knowledge) and quickly cover topics such as conditionals and loops with the intent to use Python as a tool […]

PICS Colloquium: “An introduction to neural ODEs in scientific machine learning” with Patrick Kidger

Zoom

Speaker: Patrick Kidger, Mathematician at Google X Abstract: This is a quick introduction to neural ODEs for scientific applications. The goal is to (a) provide a modelling tool that enhances the expressivity of existing theory-driven approaches, (b) demonstrate that neural ODEs are easy to use via modern autodifferentiable software, and (c) give enough of the […]
