PLV XIV: Plenary Talk

Friday, March 20, 2020, 08:30–09:15, HSZ 01

Machine Learning meets Quantum Physics — •Klaus-Robert Müller — TU Berlin, Computer Science, ML Group, Berlin — Korea University, Anam, Seoul — MPII, Saarbrücken

The talk will first briefly introduce machine learning (ML) concepts, before applying them in Quantum chemistry and materials. This will include kernel-based learning methods and deep neural networks. A particular focus will lie on the challenge of interpreting nonlinear machine learning models. In other words, given that we have an excellent predictor of quantum chemical properties, how can we gain an understanding of the physics or chemistry that this learning machine has implemented? I will show selected examples of ML applied for predicting properties of small molecules and also for materials.
