Description

Machine learning attracts a lot of interest in the fields of cosmology and gravitational-wave astronomy and may potentially lead to major breakthroughs. Its adoption by the scientific community is increasing dramatically but it does not yet belong to the toolbox of 'off-the-shelf' algorithms. One of the reasons is that built-in uncertainty estimation, which is core to the evaluation of any scientific measurement and analysis, is not yet common in machine learning models.


Such limitation is on the verge to be overcome by the emergence of probabilistic machine learning models and algorithms. Among them, recent models called Bayesian neural networks, which combine machine learning and Bayesian statistics, use new (deep) neural networks architectures to enable Bayesian inference, and have received a great attention from the artificial intelligence community over the past few years.


This workshop will give the participants the opportunity to learn more about these emerging methods and how to use and exploit them in their research. The workshop program includes invited lectures and tutorials from major computer science experts and contributed talk and poster session aimed at sharing experience between physicists on the practical applications of machine learning.

 

The workshop is intended to researchers and students that are familiar with machine learning, use this type of algorithms for their own work, and want to learn about the advanced techniques related to Bayesian deep learning.

        An Introduction to Bayesian Deep Learning

        Bayesian Deep Learning (BDL) fills an important gap in the current deep neural networks, no matter powerful they are: in figurative terms, one could say BDL gives to AI the introspective ability to assess its own level of ignorance due to a lack of observations.
        In more technical terms, BDL adopts the view of Bayesian statistics by replacing the weights of neural networks by distributions.
        While this idea is nothing new, BDL has recently undergone new developments, thanks in particular to the seminal work of Y. Gal.
        This presentation is designed to be a gentle introduction of the main concepts of BDL.
        It introduces the required notions of Deep Learning and Bayesian statistics before developing the BDL framework.
        It will not assume any particular piece of knowledge, but some general notions in machine Learning and Neural Networks.

        Bayesian analysis and Supernova Photometric Cosmology

        In the end of the 20th century type Ia supernovae provided the first evidence for accelerated cosmic expansion -- completely changing the cosmological model paradigm. Since then, the astronomical community has devote much of its resources to the construction of large scale sky surveys which are expected to achieve first light in the next few years. The upcoming Large Survey of Space and Time at the Vera Rubin Observatory (LSST) is one of the most ambitious of such experiments. In the new data paradigm raised by the next generation of surveys, which will deliver larger and more complex astronomical data than ever before, the methods of data analysis will need to be adapted to the new reality. In this talk, I will briefly describe the traditional pipeline for supernova cosmology, highlighting the new challenges to be faced and list a number of potential improvements already achieved by the application of Bayesian analysis. In particular, I will focus on how the combination of Bayesian techniques with adaptive machine learning algorithms can enable purely photometric supernova cosmology in the next decade.

      Academia has a tradition of fostering interaction between scientific fields but not with companies. In the past years, we have witnessed a development of academic-type research teams within big tech companies, especially in machine learning. As machine learning is becoming a very hot topic in Physics (and quantum computing might also), we need these kind of interactions more than ever. How can we make those two worlds benefit from each other?
