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

PICS Colloquium: “MFEM: Accelerating Efficient Solution of PDEs at Exascale”
Abstract: Upcoming exascale architectures require rethinking of the numerical algorithms used in large-scale PDE-based applications. These architectures favor algorithms, such as high-order finite elements, that expose fine-grain parallelism and maximize the ratio of floating point operations to energy intensive data movement. In this talk we present an overview of MFEM [1], a scalable library for…
