By Jürgen Knödlseder, IRAP, GAHEC, Toulouse, France The carbon footprint of astronomical research is an increasingly topical issue with first estimates of research institute and national community footprints having recently been published. As these assessments generally do not take into account the contribution of astronomical research infrastructures, we propose to complement them by providing […]

By Adrian E. Raftery, Department of Statistics, University of Washington, Seattle, USA This colloquium is organized jointly with the Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research (IMK), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). The climate change projections of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are based on scenarios for future emissions, but these are not statistically […]

By Philipp Podsiadlowski, Stellar Astrophysics, University of Oxford, UK While the basic evolution of stars has been understood for many decades, there are still major uncertainties in our theoretical understanding of how stars end their lives, both in the context of low- and intermediate-mass stars (including the Sun) and massive stars. After reviewing some […]

By Norman Schumann, Klima vor acht e.V. It's hard to imagine that the world is coming to an end, and nobody's talking about it. Unfortunately, this happens every day in the German media, or, to put it differently, the issue is not being addressed. After more than thirty years since the establishment of the […]

By Olexandr Isayev, Carnegie Mellon University, Department of Chemistry, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Deep learning is revolutionizing many areas of science and technology, particularly in natural language processing, speech recognition, and computer vision. In this talk, we will provide an overview of the latest developments of machine learning and AI methods and their application to […]
Public Talk by Anil Ananthaswamy, HITS Journalist in Residence 2023 in collaboration with the Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation There are anecdotal reports of cab drivers asking their passengers: “Have you heard of ChatGPT?” This cultural phenomenon is indicative of an inflection point in the development of a form of artificial intelligence (AI) called the large […]

By Rafal Weron, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Poland Although electricity price forecasting aims at predicting both spot and forward prices, the vast majority of research is focused on short-term horizons which exhibit dynamics unlike in any other market. The reason is that power system stability calls for a constant balance between production and […]

Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany
By Fernanda Duarte, Department of Chemistry, University of Oxford, UK Efficiently and accurately modelling chemical reactions in the condensed phase stands as one of the ‘grand challenges’ in computational chemistry. Although characterizing reaction energy pathways has become routine, the exploration of intricate reaction mechanisms remains a time-consuming and non-systematic endeavour, even for experienced computational […]

Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany
By Volker Deringer, Department of Chemistry, University of Oxford, UK Machine learning (ML) based interatomic potential models are increasingly popular simulation tools for molecular and materials systems and hold promise for use on exascale supercomputers . ML potentials are fitted to large sets of quantum-mechanical reference data, and therefore developing high-quality datasets and automated […]
