SCML2024

Welcome

---

The list of accepted papers is here.

The detailed program is here.

The hybrid conference system is here (the same as the registration system)!

The banquet will start at 6pm (and will end at 8pm) on March 21st at Atrium in Bldg. 1.

In recent years, machine learning methods for scientific computing have attracted much attention. Many methods are a combination of machine learning and/or theories of physics and/or computational mathematics.

This conference aims to showcase the latest research in these areas, which have been fragmented while pursuing research in the same direction, to bridge the gap between them, and to promote collaboration.

Topics will include, but not limited to

• ML for scientific computing
• ML for model discovery
• Physics-informed neural networks
• Operator learning
• Geometric deep learning
• Numerical method for scientific computing
• Discrete mechanics
• Mathematics for ML for science
• Computational algebra for modeling and simulation

This year, this conference will be held in a hybrid format and online participation is possible. Please contact the organizers at yaguchi (at) pearl.kobe-u.ac.jp or scml24-committee (at) geom.jp with any questions.

Call for papers and submission guidelines

We welcome paper submissions from all related areas with the above topics. This conference will be organized in a similar format to workshops of the major AI conferences, that is,

• Submitted papers will be reviewed by the Program Committee, and all accepted papers will be made available on the conference website. However, authors retain the right to publish elsewhere.
• Submission of papers that are under review or have been recently published in a conference or a journal is allowed.
• Each accepted presentation will be assigned to either an oral presentation or a poster presentation, according to the review reports.
• Submissions should not exceed four pages, excluding references and supplementary materials.
• All submissions must be in the pdf format based on the SCML style file. Please see template.pdf in the SCML style file for other details.

Important Dates

• Paper submissions due: January 7, 2024 January 19, 2024 (AoE)
• Notification to authors: January 21, 2024 January 29, 2024 (AoE)
