==========================================================
[AI4S]: The 4th Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Machine
Learning for Scientific Applications

To be held in conjunction with SC23
Monday, 13 November 2023, 8:30 am - 5 pm MST
Denver, CO, USA

Overview
--------------
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together computer scientists and
domain scientists from academia, government, and industry to share recent
advances in the use of AI/ML in various scientific applications, introduce
new scientific application problems to the broader community, and stimulate
tools and infrastructures to support the application of AI/ML in scientific
applications. The workshop will be organized as a series of plenary talks
based on peer-reviewed paper submissions accompanied by keynotes from
distinguished researchers in the area and a panel discussion. We encourage
participation and submissions from universities, industry, and DOE National
Laboratories.

Artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) is a game-changing
technology that has shown tremendous advantages and improvements in
algorithms, implementation, and applications. We have seen many success
stories of applying AI/ML to scientific applications, such as predicting
extreme weather events, identifying exoplanets in trillions of sky pixels,
and accelerating numerical solvers in fluid simulation. However, there are
several problems remaining to be studied to enhance the usability of
AI/ML to scientific applications. For example, how to systematically and
automatically apply AI/ML to scientific applications? How to incorporate
domain knowledge (e.g., conservation laws, invariants, causality, and
symmetries) into AI/ML models? How to make the models interpretable and
robust for HPC? How to make AI/ML more approachable to the HPC community?
Addressing the above problems will bridge the gap between AI/ML and
scientific applications and enable wider employment of AI/ML in HPC.

Call for Papers
---------------------
We solicit research papers in the following topic areas, but not be limited
to:
- Innovative AI/ML models to analyze, accelerate, or improve the performance of
scientific applications in terms of execution time and simulation accuracy;
- Innovative methods to incorporate complex constraints imposed by physical
principles to scientific applications;
- Innovative methods to entirely or partially replace first-order
computation with efficient AI/ML models;
- Tools and infrastructure to improve the usability of AI/ML in scientific
applications;
- Performance characterization and study on the possibility of using AI/ML
to specific scientific applications;
- Workflow of applying AI/ML to scientific applications;
- Innovative methods to make AI models interpretable and robust for
scientific applications.

------------------
Submissions
-----------------
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts in English structured as
technical papers up to 6 pages, letter size (8.5in x 11in), and including
figures, tables, and references. Submissions not conforming to these
guidelines may be returned without review. Your paper should be formatted
using IEEE conference format which can be found at
https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html.

All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed and judged on correctness,
originality, technical strength, significance, presentation quality,
and interest and relevance to the workshop attendees. Submitted papers must
represent original unpublished research not currently under review
for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines
will be rejected without review and further action may be taken, including
(but not limited to) notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of
the authors and sponsors of the conference. Submissions received after the
due date, exceeding the length limit, or not appropriately structured may also
not be considered. At least one author of an accepted paper must register
for and attend the workshop. Authors may contact the workshop organizers
for more information.

Papers should be submitted electronically at:
https://submissions.supercomputing.org, SC23 Workshop: AI4S'23: Workshop on
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Scientific Applications".

The final papers are planned to be published in the SC Workshops Proceedings.
