Scholars Optimize Scientific Models with the Power of Artificial Intelligence

Scientists are always looking for better computer models that simulate the complex systems that define our world. To meet this need, a Georgia Tech workshop held Jan. 16 illustrated how new artificial intelligence (AI) research could usher the next generation of scientific computing.

The workshop focused AI technology toward optimization of complex systems. Presentations of climatological and electromagnetic simulations showed these techniques resulted in more efficient and accurate computer modeling. The workshop also progressed AI research itself since AI models typically are not well-suited for optimization tasks.

The School of Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) and Institute for Data Engineering and Science jointly sponsored the workshop.
