[ONLINE] AI for Science Bootcamp

Annotation

The End-to-End AI for Science Bootcamp provides a step-by-step overview of the fundamentals of deep neural networks, walks attendees through the hands-on experience of building and improving deep learning models using a framework that uses the fundamental laws of physics to model the behavior of complex systems (physics-informed neural networks – PINNs), and enables attendees to visualize the outputs of the trained model.

This online bootcamp is a hands-on learning experience where you will be guided through step-by-step instructions with teaching assistants on hand to help throughout.

This bootcamp, which will be hosted virtually for two half-days on May 27–28, is co-organized by the Vienna Scientific Cluster (VSC), IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center (IT4I), High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS), Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC), Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ), University of Donja Gorica (UDG), Academic Computer Centre Cyfronet AGH (Cyfronet), Linköping University (LiU), Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE), HPC Vega at IZUM (IZUM), OpenACC organization, and NVIDIA, for EuroCC Austria, EuroCC Czechia, EuroCC@GCS, EuroCC Montenegro, EuroCC Poland, EuroCC Sweden, and EuroCC Slovenia, all National Competence Centres for High-Performance Computing.

Please ensure you meet all prerequisites / eligibility before you apply.
