Date/Time: December 18, 2024, 13:40

Location: FENS G032

Abstract: Machine learning and generative AI models are transforming all aspects of human experience.  In the scientific domain, machine learning models are finding application areas in solving complex problems such as protein folding, chemical property prediction and the design of new materials and drugs.  In this talk, we will use two recent publications from Microsoft Research AI for Science (MatterSim: https://microsoft.github.io/mattersim/ and MatterGen) to discuss how the emergence of large-scale AI is transforming the sciences, focusing particularly in materials design and discovery.
