We invite you to the inaugural workshop on machine learning for science at LBNL, ML4Sci, organized jointly with the annual NERSC Data Day. This workshop will feature excellent work on scientific ML applications at the lab, covering high energy physics, nuclear physics, cosmology, chemistry, biosciences, materials engineering, climate and high performance computing. The talks will provide overviews of the state of the art in ML methodology and technology, and provide hands-on training for deploying ML applications on NERSC platforms.

Call for abstracts

Abstract submission is now closed, and available at this link.

Registration

Registration is free. The deadline is Aug 27, 2018. Please fill out the form at this link. [Closed]
