SUMMARY:HITS Colloquium Christina Elmer: Synthetic Truthfulness? Learning Systems as a Challenge for Communication and a Transformative Force for Journalism
DESCRIPTION:  \nBy Christina Elmer\, Institute & School of Journalism\, TU Dortmund University \n  \nAI systems are both promising and unsettling for quality journalism. On the one hand\, they open up completely new possibilities – for investigating large amounts of data\, utilizing knowledge resources and creating even more efficient workflows. At the same time\, they jeopardize trust in journalistic content. If AI systems write just as eloquently as humans and generate multimedia content whose AI origins are barely recognizable – how will media companies be able to sustain against such competition? \nThe talk outlines the current status of the integration of AI systems in media organizations and uses specific use cases to demonstrate the challenges to be overcome. One focus lies on the perception of media contents in whose creation artificial intelligence was involved\, and research results on meaningful labeling approaches. Finally\, future scenarios show the transformation that journalism still needs to undergo in order to survive in an AI-mediated information ecosystem and to continue to serve a well-informed society. \n  \nA Short Biography \nFrom September 2021\, Christina Elmer is Professor for Digital Journalism and Data Journalism at TU Dortmund University. Previously she was deputy head of editorial development at Der Spiegel\, where she had co-managed the relaunch of the digital platform and established the data journalism department. During a research sabbatical in 2021 as the first Journalist in Residence at the Cyber Valley research network\, she investigated the explainability of AI methods. Before she joined Spiegel Online as a science editor in 2013\, Elmer worked at Stern magazine’s investigative unit. Her journalistic career began in 2007 at the German press agency dpa\, where she was part of a team which set up Germany’s first department for data journalism and computer assisted reporting. Elmer studied Journalism and Biology. She is a shareholder of the human rights organization Algorithm Watch and a board member of Netzwerk Recherche\, Germany’s largest association supporting investigative reporters. \n  \nREGISTRATION: \nThe talk will be hybrid.\n\nIf you would like to participate online\, please register in advance here.\n\n\n\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\n\n\nIn case you are not able to attend\, you can watch the talk afterwards on the HITS YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheHITSters.

SUMMARY:HITS Colloquium Victoria Stodden: Verifying Correctness in AI-enabled Scientific Research - a New Frontier
DESCRIPTION:By Victoria Stodden\, Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering\, University of Southern California\, USA \nIn the last 10 years colossal cloud infrastructure investments behind the rise of near-ubiquitous global mobile technologies have trickled down to scientific research through innovative infrastructure including cloud compute and storage\, I/O tools\, data analysis and modeling frameworks\, which in turn have generated broad and expanding communities of users and supporters. Arguably\, the recent success of Large Language Models were catalyzed by the resulting technological innovations of 1) open and accessible massive data\, and 2) re-executable discovery pipelines for model estimation and prediction. These changes are deeply disruptive to the research community since they open new paths to knowledge creation that were previously inaccessible and largely culturally unknown.\nThe scientific community is faced with the challenge of responding to changes in research modalities due to these technological innovations. Research is now conducted as an “Olympics” of benchmarked competitions between machine learning models leveraged by the opaque results of Large Language Models\, access to massive data\, and redeployment of complex scientific discovery workflows. In this Colloquium talk I provide a roadmap of challenges and responses by various stakeholders in the research community to ensure that scientific results remain reliable and reproducible\, and secure within a position of trust in the broader society. \nA Short Biography \nVICTORIA STODDEN is Associate Professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Southern California. \nShe received a Ph.D. in Statistics from Stanford University and a Law Degree from Stanford Law School. She graduated magna cum laude with her Bachelor’s in Economics from the University of Ottawa and holds a master’s degree in Economics from the University of British Columbia. She held the Kauffman Innovation fellowship at Yale Law School and was a Berkman Klein fellow at Harvard Law School. She was a postdoctoral researcher at MIT and has held faculty positions at the University of California Berkeley\, Columbia University\, and a tenured position at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. \nStodden is an internationally recognized leader in improving the reliability of scientific results in the face of increasingly sophisticated computational approaches to research: understanding when and how inferences from data are valid and reproducible\, what it means to have replicated a result\, the effect of big data and computation on scientific inference\, the design and implementation of scientific validation systems\, standards of openness and transparency for data and code sharing\, and resolving legal and policy barriers to disseminating reproducible research. \nShe has published more than 50 papers in scientific journals and conference proceedings\, and has co-edited two professional books\, published in 2014\, Privacy\, Big Data\, and the Public Good: Frameworks for Engagement\, published by Cambridge University Press and Implementing Reproducible Research\, published by Taylor & Francis. \nIn 2009 she won the Access to Knowledge Kaltura prize for her publication on legal issues in reproducible research and scientific innovation. She has served on the National Academies of Science\, Engineering\, and Medicine committees: “Reproducibility and Replication in Science” and “Fostering Research Integrity.” She co-chaired the National Science Foundation Advisory Committee for Cyberinfrastructure and was a member of the National Science Foundation Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Advisory Committee. She has been quoted in The Economist (2013) and interviewed by publications such as Nature (2016) on reproducibility in science. \nShe also testified on scientific reproducibility before the Congressional House Committee on Science\, Space and Technology for the March 5\, 2013 hearing on Scientific Integrity & Transparency. \nShe is PI on NSF awards #1941443 EAGER: Reproducibility and Cyberinfrastructure for Computational and Data-Enabled Science\, and #1839010: EAGER: Preserve/Destroy Decisions for Simulation Data in Computational Physics and Beyond; and she is co-PI on the NSF grant #1541450: CC*DNI DIBBS: Merging Science and Cyberinfrastructure Pathways: The Whole Tale. \nHer ORCID ID is 0000-0003-2015-7825. \n  \nREGISTRATION: \nThe talk will be hybrid.\n\nIf you would like to participate online\, please register in advance here.\n\n\n\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\n\n\nIn case you are not able to attend\, you can watch the talk afterwards on the HITS YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheHITSters.

SUMMARY:HITS-SIMPLAIX Joint Colloquium Cecilia Clementi: Modeling Protein Dynamics with Machine Learning and Molecular Simulation
DESCRIPTION:  \nBy Cecilia Clementi\, Einstein Professor Freie Universität Berlin\, Department of Physics\, Berlin\, Germany \nThe last years have seen an immense increase in high-throughput and high-resolution technologies for experimental observation as well as high-performance techniques to simulate molecular systems at a microscopic level\, resulting in vast and ever-increasing amounts of high-dimensional data. However\, experiments provide only a partial view of macromolecular processes and are limited in their temporal and spatial resolution. On the other hand\, atomistic simulations are still not able to sample the conformation space of large complexes\, thus leaving significant gaps in our ability to study molecular processes at a biologically relevant scale. We present our efforts to bridge these gaps\, by exploiting the available data and using state-of-the-art machine-learning methods to design multiscale models for complex macromolecular systems. We show that it is possible to define simplified molecular models to reproduce the essential information contained both in microscopic simulation and experimental measurements. \n  \nShort Bio: \nProf. Dr. Cecilia Clementi is the Einstein Professor of Physics at Freie Universität Berlin since 2020\, after 19 years as a Professor of Chemistry at Rice University in Houston\, Texas\, USA. Clementi obtained her Ph.D. in Physics at SISSA\, Italy\, and was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California\, San Diego. Her research focuses on the development and application of methods for the modeling of complex biophysical processes\, by means of molecular dynamics\, statistical mechanics\, coarse-grained models\, experimental data\, and machine learning. Clementi’s research has been recognized by a US National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award (2004)\, the Robert A. Welch Foundation Norman Hackerman Award in Chemical Research (2009)\, and the Hamill Innovation Award (2007 and 2014). \n  \nREGISTRATION: \nThe talk will be hybrid.\n\nIf you would like to participate online\, please register in advance here.\n\n\n\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\n\n\nIn case you are not able to attend\, you can watch the talk afterwards on the HITS YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheHITSters.

SUMMARY:HITS-SIMPLAIX Joint Colloquium Markus Meuwly: Computational Protein Dynamics in the Era of Machine-Learned Atomistic Simulations
DESCRIPTION:  \nBy Markus Meuwly\, Department of Chemistry\, University of Basel\, Switzerland \n  \nMachine Learning-based techniques have the potential to fundamentally change how we approach characterizing and understanding chemical and biological materials. It is anticipated that ML applied to protein dynamics allows to carry out atomistic simulations on functionally relevant time scales using models approaching chemical accuracy. In the present seminar I will present methodological advances and their application to position-dependent spectroscopy and ligand (re-)binding reactions in small proteins with a focus on the links between simulations and experiment. Both\, opportunities and limitations of machine learning-based techniques will also be discussed. \n  \n  \nREGISTRATION: \nThe talk will be hybrid.\n\nIf you would like to participate online\, please register in advance here.\n\n\n\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\n\n\nIn case you are not able to attend\, you can watch the talk afterwards on the HITS YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheHITSters.

SUMMARY:HITS Colloquium Guillermo Cabrera-Vives: Machine Learning & Astronomy: Unique Challenges for a Unique Field
DESCRIPTION:By Guillermo Cabrera-Vives\, Department of Computer Science\, Universidad de Concepción\,  Chile \nCurrently Klaus Tschira Guest Professor at HITS \n  \nAstronomy\, like many other fields\, is experiencing an explosion of data\, with vast amounts of information pouring in from the universe. This influx has driven the development of new machine learning (ML) tools\, enabling new discoveries while also presenting unique challenges. Unlike standard ML tools\, those used in astronomy must adapt to data collected from distant sources\, often captured under irregular and constrained observational conditions. In this talk\, I will discuss the different challenges of applying ML in astronomy\, including handling observational biases\, irregular time series sampling\, and the need for robust uncertainty estimation\, among others. \n  \n  \nREGISTRATION: \nThe talk will be hybrid.\n\nIf you would like to participate online\, please register in advance here.\n\n\n\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\n\n\nIn case you are not able to attend\, you can watch the talk afterwards on the HITS YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheHITSters.

SUMMARY:Colloquium Volker Springel: Interfacing galaxy formation with precision cosmology
DESCRIPTION:By Volker Springel\, Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics\, Garching\, Germany\nHITS Fellow 2018 \n  \nNumerical simulations of cosmic structure formation have become a powerful tool in astrophysics. Starting right after the Big Bang\, they predict the dark matter backbone of the cosmic web far into the non-linear regime and follow complex galaxy formation physics with rapidly improving fidelity. In my talk\, I discuss extremely large simulations of the Universe and describe how they help to constrain basic cosmological parameters\, including the mass of neutrinos. They also allow us to test astrophysical hypothesis\, such as the influence of supermassive black holes on galaxy formation. Finally\, I will also discuss some of the specific computational challenges in this field. \n  \n  \nREGISTRATION: \nThe talk will be hybrid.\nIf you would like to participate online\, please register in advance here.\n\n\n\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\n\n\nIn case you are not able to attend\, you can watch the talk afterwards on the HITS YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheHITSters.\n

SUMMARY:HITS-SIMPLAIX Joint Colloquium Michele Parrinello: Do we really understand catalysis?
DESCRIPTION:  \nBy Michele Parrinello\, Italian Institute of Technology\, Genova (Italy) \n  \nThe transition to a green economy depends critically on the development of efficient catalysts that could for instance help in sequestrating CO2 or producing H2. To reach this goal a detailed understanding of the catalytic mechanism would be of great value. Unfortunately\, most industrial catalysis takes place at temperatures and pressures\, so high that both experimental and theoretical investigations are challenging. Current theories cannot explain the extreme durability and stability of industrial catalysts under these conditions. In our view the root of this difficulty lies in a static view of the catalytic process in which the catalyst is only seen as a static platform for reaction. We argue instead that industrial catalysts are dynamical entities that\, under reaction conditions evolve forming reactive sites with the reagents. Recent technical development\, driven by machine learning methodologies\, allow realistic and accurate atomistic simulations to be performed. These simulations are validating such a complex dynamical picture\, and we find in our simulations that efficient catalysts are better described as functional materials. We focus our attention on the synthesis and cracking of NH3. The final purpose of these studies is twofold. On the one hand one wants to reduce the remarkably large carbon footprint of ammonia production which account for 4% of the global CO2 emission. On the other\, having in mind a hydrogen-based economy indicating ways of dissociating ammonia into its constituents nitrogen and hydrogen so as to allow using ammonia to store and transport hydrogen. \n  \nShort CV: \nMichele Parrinello currently leads the atomistic simulation group at the Italian Institute of Technology in Genoa. Together with Roberto Car he introduced the ab-initio molecular dynamics method. This method\, which goes under the name of Car-Parrinello Method\, represents the beginning of a new field and has dramatically influenced the field of electronic structure calculations for solids\, liquids and molecules. He is also known for a variety of widely used molecular dynamics methods like the Parrinello-Rahman barostat\, metadynamics and more recently he has pioneered the use of machine learning methodologies to molecular dynamics. Parrinello’s scientific interests are strongly interdisciplinary and include the study of complex chemical reactions\, materials science and protein dynamics. He has been awarded numerous prizes\, among which the 2011 Marcel Benoist Prize\, the 2017 Dreyfus Prize and the 2020 Benjamin Franklin Award. He is a member of several academies\, and his work is highly cited. \n  \nREGISTRATION: \nThe talk will be hybrid.\nIf you would like to participate in person\, please register in advance at benedicta.frech@h-its.org.\nIf you would like to participate online\, please use the following link: https://kta-email.zoom.us/j/91851613782?pwd=TzNmZHI5UmZTRmtXSnp5cVIrSFhCUT09.

SUMMARY:Colloquium Laura Maria Sangalli: Physics-Informed Spatial and Functional Data Analysis over non-Euclidean Domains
DESCRIPTION:  \nBy Laura Maria Sangalli\, MOX – Dipartimento di Matematica\, Politecnico di Milano\, Italy \n  \nRecent years have seen an explosive growth in the recording of increasingly complex and high-dimensional data\, whose analysis calls for the definition of new methods\, merging ideas and approaches from statistics and applied mathematics. My talk will focus on spatial and functional data observed over non-Euclidean domains\, such as linear networks\, two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds and non-convex volumes. I will present an innovative class of methods\, based on regularizing terms involving Partial Differential Equations (PDEs)\, defined over the complex domains being considered. These Physics-Informed statistical learning methods enable the inclusion of the available problem specific information\, suitably encoded in the regularizing PDE. Illustrative applications from environmental and life sciences will be presented. \n  \n  \nREGISTRATION: \nThe talk will be hybrid.\nIf you would like to participate online\, please register in advance here.\n\n\n\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\n\n\nIn case you are not able to attend\, you can watch the talk afterwards on the HITS YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheHITSters.\n

SUMMARY:HITS-SIMPLAIX Joint Colloquium Volker Deringer: Machine-learning-driven advances in modelling and understanding disordered materials
DESCRIPTION:  \nBy Volker Deringer\, Department of Chemistry\, University of Oxford\, UK \nMachine learning (ML) based interatomic potential models are increasingly popular simulation tools for molecular and materials systems and hold promise for use on exascale supercomputers [1]. ML potentials are fitted to large sets of quantum-mechanical reference data\, and therefore developing high-quality datasets and automated training approaches is becoming an increasingly important re-search challenge. In this seminar\, I will highlight some recent developments in ML-driven molecular-dynamics simulations of structurally complex inorganic materials\, combining methodological aspects and practical applications. In regard to methods\, I will discuss the use of cheaply available “synthetic” data in pre-training atomistic ML models [2]\, which can improve accuracy and robustness of neural-network interatomic potentials compared to direct training on quantum-mechanical data [3]. Regarding applications\, I will showcase device-scale simulations of phase-change memory materials (which encode digital “ones” and “zeroes” in data-storage devices) [4]. Finally\, I will discuss perspectives for the development of both purpose-specific and generally applicable ML potentials for materials. \n[1] C. Chang et al.\, Nat. Rev.

SUMMARY:HITS-SIMPLAIX Joint Colloquium Fernanda Duarte: Exploring chemical reactivity in the age of automation and ML
DESCRIPTION:By Fernanda Duarte\, Department of Chemistry\, University of Oxford\, UK \n  \nEfficiently and accurately modelling chemical reactions in the condensed phase stands as one of the ‘grand challenges’ in computational chemistry. Although characterizing reaction energy pathways has become routine\, the exploration of intricate reaction mechanisms remains a time-consuming and non-systematic endeavour\, even for experienced computational chemists. To reduce technical barriers and enhance both efficiency and accuracy\, new developments in algorithms and computational methods are necessary. \nIn this talk\, I will present our team’s efforts to tackle these challenges through the integration of automation and machine learning\, demonstrating their potential for studying complex reaction mechanisms in the condensed phase. I will first describe our work on automating reaction pathways search through the use of our open-source software\, autodE\, which streamlines the characterisation of reaction pathways\, necessitating minimal user input and expertise and being compatible with several electronic structure theory packages.[1] I will illustrate the functionality and general applicability of autodE in a range of reaction classes\, including complex organic and metal-catalysed reactions\, and discuss current challenges in the field. \nMoving towards increasingly complex systems in the condensed phase\, such as large flexible molecules with explicit solvents\, I will present a comprehensive automated methodology for constructing machine learning potentials (MLPs).[2-4] MLPs have emerged as powerful surrogates for state-of-the-art ab initio methods\, providing access to accurate energy and forces at a significantly lower computational cost. Our approach combines the use of efficient MLP frameworks with automated active learning\, enabling the construction of data-efficient training sets across the relevant chemical and conformational space. I will discuss diverse examples to showcase the versatility of this approach and its transferability to a broad range of chemical systems\, including chemical reactions. \n  \nReferences \n\nA.

SUMMARY:Colloquium Rafal Weron: Electricity price forecasting in the 2020s
DESCRIPTION:By Rafal Weron\, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology\, Poland \nAlthough electricity price forecasting aims at predicting both spot and forward prices\, the vast majority of research is focused on short-term horizons which exhibit dynamics unlike in any other market. The reason is that power system stability calls for a constant balance between production and consumption\, while being weather (both demand and supply) and business activity (demand only) dependent. The recent market innovations do not help in this respect. The rapid expansion of intermittent renewable energy sources is not offset by the costly increase of electricity storage capacities and modernization of the grid infrastructure.\nOn the methodological side\, this leads to three visible trends in electricity price forecasting research as of 2022. Firstly\, there is a slow\, but more noticeable with every year\, tendency to consider not only point but also probabilistic (interval\, density) or even path (also called ensemble) forecasts. Secondly\, there is a clear shift from the relatively parsimonious econometric (or statistical) models towards more complex and harder to comprehend\, but more versatile and eventually more accurate statistical/machine learning approaches. Thirdly\, statistical error measures are nowadays regarded as only the first evaluation step. Since they may not necessarily reflect the economic value of reducing prediction errors\, more and more often\, they are complemented by case studies comparing products from scheduling or trading strategies based on price forecasts obtained from different models. \n  \n  \nREGISTRATION: \nThe talk will be hybrid.\nIf you would like to participate in person\, please register in advance at christina.blach@h-its.org.\nIf you would like to participate online\, please register in advance here.\n\n\n\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\n\n\nIn case you are not able to attend\, you can watch the talk afterwards on the HITS YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheHITSters.\n
