Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
There has been a surge of interest in machine learning in the past few years, and deep learning techniques are more and more integrated into
the way we do quantitative science. A particularly exciting case for deep learning is molecular physics, where some of the “superpowers” of
machine learning can make a real difference in addressing hard and fundamental computational problems – on the other hand the rigorous
physical footing of these problems guides us in how to pose the learning problem and making the design decisions for the learning architecture.
In this lecture I will review some of our recent contributions in marrying deep learning with statistical mechanics, rare-event sampling
and quantum mechanics.
