PGAI-AAAI-20: Physics-guided AI to Accelerate Scientific Discovery Westin Arlington Gateway Arlington, VA, United States, November 13-14, 2020 |

Submission deadline | August 21, 2020 |
Physics-guided AI is an emerging paradigm of research that aims to principally integrate physics in AI models and algorithms to learn patterns and relationships from data that are not only accurate on validation data but are also physically consistent with known scientific theories. Physics-guided AI is ripe with research opportunities to influence fundamental advances in AI for accelerating scientific discovery and has already begun to gain attention in several scientific communities including fluid dynamics, quantum chemistry, biology, hydrology, and climate science.
The goal of this symposium is to nurture the community of researchers working at the intersection of AI and scientific areas and shape the vision of the rapidly growing field of PGAI. Our symposium will involve a mix of activities including keynote and invited talks, breakout sessions, panel discussions, and poster sessions to discuss recent developments, identify common roadblocks, and brainstorm promising directions in the field of physics-guided AI.
List of Topics
We encourage participation on topics that explore any form of synergy between scientific principles and AI/machine learning/data mining/high-performance computing methods. Examples of relevant topics include (but are not limited to):
-
Use of physical constraints or priors in supervised and unsupervised AI methods,
-
Approaches to encode scientific knowledge in deep learning architectures,
-
Physics-guided generative and reinforcement learning methods,
-
Discovery of physically interpretable laws from data,
-
Hybrid constructions of physics-based and machine learning models,
-
Architectural and algorithmic improvements enabled by AI in scientific computing,
-
Software development facilitating the inclusion of physics in AI, and
-
Use of AI to calibrate parameters and system states in scientific models.
Submission Guidelines
We are soliciting paper submissions for position, review, or research articles in two formats: (i) short papers (2-4 pages) and (ii) full papers (6-8 pages). Extended versions of articles in submission at other venues are acceptable as long as they do not violate the dual-submission policy of the other venue. We also encourage early drafts of on-going research with preliminary insights/results that contribute to the symposium agenda. All submissions will undergo peer review and authors will have the option to publish their work in an open access proceedings site.
Submissions should be formatted according to the AAAI template (see Author Kit) and submitted via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=fss20). All submissions will undergo double-blind peer review before acceptance.
