Machine learning for physicists

  1. Introduction

    • Scientific machine learning with and without data
  2. Machine learning hands-on

    • Supervised learning: Hand-written digits recognition
    • Unsupervised learning: Principal component analysis
    • Machine learning frameworks, hardware, and workflow
  3. A hitchhiker's guide to deep learning

    • The four pillars: data, model, loss function, and optimization
    • Deep learning primitives: CNN, GNN, and transformer
  4. Symmetries in machine learning

    • Invariant and equivariant models
    • The geometric deep learning program
  5. Differentiable programming

    • The engine of deep learning: automatic differentiation on computation graphs
    • Differentiable DFT/MD/Tensor networks/..., and why they are useful
  6. Generative models-I

    • A dictionary of generative models and statistical physics
    • Boltzmann machines
    • Autoregressive models
  7. Generative models-II

    • Normalizing flows
    • Diffusions models
    • The universe as a generative model
  8. Wrap up

    • AI for science: why now?
