SS 2018: Machine learning for molecular world

by Frauke Gräter and Rebecca Wade

Over the last decade machine learning revolutionized computer vision and language processing.
This progress was fueled by the development of new methods as well as the availability of ever powerful hardware.
Now a new wave of research adapts these advances to increase our understanding of the molecular world.
In this seminar we will explore the recent literature on these efforts ranging from protein dynamics and drug design to materials science.
The seminar is targeted towards advanced Bachelor, Master and interested PhD students. As the seminar’s topics cover a broad range, we are happy to welcome students from all scientific backgrounds with a strong interest in interdisciplinary work, preferably with some background in machine learning, molecular simulations, or quantum chemistry.

Time: Tue, 3-4.30pm,
Place: Mathematikon, INF 205, SR11

In our Vorbesprechung on Tue, April 17, 2018, 3-4.30pm, we will distribute topics and dates. The first ~2 seminars will be used to introduce some basics of machine learning and relevant molecular simulation techniques.

Registration:

As we only can accept a limited number of participants, please send us an email to frauke.graeter@h-its.org before the course starts, if you want to make sure to be accepted.
