Welcome

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. All oral talks will be recoreded and made available to participants.In addition, online oral/poster presentations are also allowed.

Synergies of Machine Learning and Numerics will be held in Osaka after SCML2025, offering a convenient opportunity to attend both events.

Please contact the organizers at yaguchi (at) pearl.kobe-u.ac.jp or scml25-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.

• Submitted papers will be reviewed by the Program Committee. All accepted papers will be made available to conference participants. However, authors of accepted papers can choose whether to include their paper in the conference proceedings and make it public, or keep it non-public (and hence non-archival). If they choose to keep it non-public (and non-archival), the authors retain the right to publish the paper elsewhere.
• Submission of papers that are under review or have been recently published in a conference or a journal is allowed; but, in that case, these papers cannot be included in the conference proceedings.
• 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.

How to submit a paper

Please submit your paper via Microsoft CMT: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/SCML2025

Important Dates

• Paper submissions due: January 5, 2025 (AoE)
• Notification to authors: January 12, 2025 (AoE)

Tutorial/keynote/invited speakers

Several keynote/invited/tutorial talks will be scheduled. In particular, we are planning invited talks by early and mid-career researchers, as this research field is still at the beginning stage and promoting young researchers is very important.

This year, we will invite as invited speakers a few students or young researchers (who have obtained a PhD degree within the five years, i.e., on January 1st, 2020 or later) who have published at least one paper related to SciML in top journals or famous conferences such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR. Travel and accommodation expenses for those selected as invited speakers will be covered by the conference organizing committee. Those who wish to apply for this opportunity should send the paper accepted for the above conference to scml25-committee (at) geom.jp by December 13, 2024 (AOE). Please understand that we have a limited budget and that we need to review applications.

The current confirmed tutorial/keynote/invited speakers are

• Nikola Kovachki (NVIDIA)

TBA

• Taiji Suzuki (University of Tokyo/RIKEN)

TBA

• Takashi Furuya (Shimane University)

TBA

• Yury Korolev (Bath University)
