During Michaelmas Term, OxTalks will be moving to a new platform (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
For now, continue using the current page and event submission process (freeze period dates to be advised).
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
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.
