Jonas Buchli & Federico Felici: Magnetic control of tokamak plasmas with deep reinforcement learning
Nuclear fusion using magnetic confinement, in particular in the tokamak configuration, is a promising path towards sustainable energy. A key challenge is to shape and maintain a high-temperature plasma within the tokamak vessel. This requires regulating the plasma position and shape via magnetic fields generated by a set of control coils. In this work, EPFL and DeepMind introduce a new architecture for designing a tokamak magnetic controller based on deep reinforcement learning. The controller is entirely trained on a physics-based simulator and then deployed on the tokamak hardware. They successfully produced and controlled a diverse set of plasma configurations on the Tokamak à Configuration Variable (TCV) device, including a new configuration featuring two plasmas in the vessel simultaneously. The control architecture replaces separate controllers used in traditional architectures with a single control policy and allows focus on ‘what’ to control rather than ‘how’. This represents a notable advance for tokamak feedback control, showing the potential of reinforcement learning to accelerate research in the fusion domain, and is one of the most challenging real-world systems to which reinforcement learning has been applied.

มุมมอง 7682 ปีที่แล้ว
Text embeddings are useful features in many applications such as semantic search and computing text similarity. Previous work typically trains models customized for different use cases, varying in dataset choice, training objective and model architecture. In this work, Arvind Neelakantan (OpenAI) shows that contrastive pre-training on unsupervised data at scale leads to high quality vector repr...

Mikhail Belkin: From classical statistics to modern deep learning
มุมมอง 1.2K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Recent empirical successes of deep learning have exposed significant gaps in our fundamental understanding of learning and optimization mechanisms. Modern best practices for model selection are in direct contradiction to the methodologies suggested by classical analyses. Similarly, the efficiency of SGD-based local methods used in training modern models, appeared at odds with the standard intui...

Bin Yu: Interpreting Deep Neural Networks towards Trustworthiness
มุมมอง 1732 ปีที่แล้ว
Recent deep learning models have achieved impressive predictive performance by learning complex functions of many variables, often at the cost of interpretability. In this lecture, Professor Bin Yu (UC Berkeley) first defines interpretable machine learning in general and introduces the agglomerative contextual decomposition (ACD) method to interpret neural networks. Extending ACD to the scienti...
Sonia Contera: It from bit? The future of bioinspired computing beyond ML
มุมมอง 6372 ปีที่แล้ว
Solving 21st-century problems usually involves a large amount of data emerging from dynamic complex systems, whose solution increasingly relies on bioinspired algorithms such as artificial neural networks (ANN) implementing machine learning (ML). However, the size and complexity of ANN are limited by the availability of computing resources. Future advances in scale of computations, data capacit...

Stéphane Mallat: Hamiltonian Estimations by Conditional Renormalisation Group and Convolution Nets
มุมมอง 3992 ปีที่แล้ว
Estimating high-dimensional probability distributions and physical Hamiltonians from data is an old outstanding problem. It is typically unstable, specially near phase transitions. In this talk, we revisit this topic with models resulting from multiscale harmonic analysis and neural networks. We show that renormalisation group calculations in wavelet orthonormal bases amount to precondition the...

Governing equations provide the technical language for our modern understanding of physics based systems. The derivation of governing equations is typically accomplished by leveraging physical principles such as symmetries, invariances, and/or conservation laws. Governing equations efficiently specify the relationship between a state space variable and its temporal and spatial derivatives. To p...
Tim Green: Highly accurate protein structure prediction with AlphaFold

Proteins are essential to life, and understanding their structure can facilitate a mechanistic understanding of their function. Predicting the three-dimensional structure that a protein will adopt based solely on its amino acid sequence - the structure prediction component of the ‘protein folding problem’ - has been an important open research problem for more than 50 years. AlphaFold, a novel m...

Andrew Stuart: Learning Solution Operators for PDEs
มุมมอง 7363 ปีที่แล้ว
Neural networks have shown great success at learning function approximators between spaces X and Y, in the setting where X is a finite dimensional Euclidean space and where Y is either a finite dimensional Euclidean space (regression) or a set of finite cardinality (classification); the neural networks learn the approximator from N data pairs {x_n, y_n}. In many problems arising in physics it i...
Rachel Prudden: Probabilistic modelling for atmospheric science: beyond the noise
มุมมอง 3043 ปีที่แล้ว
In both atmospheric science and machine learning, it is important to capture the uncertainty of predictions. This information can avoid the dangers of relying on over-confident predictions which may be incorrect, and help to understand the potential for high-impact rare events. Nonetheless, to focus only on capturing uncertainty risks giving an incomplete picture of the strengths of probabilist...

    Time Stamps 1:37 Large Hadron Collider setup LHC is located between border of Switzerland & France. Several experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) use detectors to analyse the myriad of particles produced by collisions in the accelerator: ATLAS, CMS, ALICE. ( My favourite experiemnent is Alpha which studies anti-matter system an anti-hydrogen but for now back to CMS & ATLAS) 2:03 CMS Detector explanation (Transverse slice of CMS showing various components/ sub-systems of the detector and their functions) 3:00 Particle flow algorithm to reconstruct full event. 3:48 Why Jets? 5:13 What kind of particles initiate Jet Tagging? Jet Tagging as a classification problem in machine learning 3 types of tagging - Jet flavour tagging: Distinguish Jets from bottom quarks, charm quarks or light flavoured quarks or gluon jets. - Tagging Hadronic decay of Tao leptons. - Boosted Jets: Particles are produced with very high momentum and high Lorentz boost particles end up coming very close to each other. In Boosted Jet Tagging we are trying to identify decay path such as t-->Wq-->qqq or h/W/Z-->qq and reject as background jets from single quark or gluon which are ubiquitously produced during interactions. 7:26 Main focus is on boosted jet tagging. Example Hadronic decay of highly Lorentz-boosted heavy particles (Higgs/W/Z/top) lead to large- radius jets with distinctive characteristics: Different radiation pattern (“substructure”) such as 3-prong(top), 2- prong(W/Z/H) or 1-prong(gluon/light flavour). 9:33 Jet Representation for Deep Learning: Image Approach 1: Convert Jets to 2D/3D Images and use Computer Vision. Approach 2: Convert to Sequence and use Natural Language Processing. Use Recurrent Neural Network , e.g. GRU/LSTM or 1D CNN. 11:22 DeepAk8 Architecture : Advance deep learning architecture for boosted jet tagging. 14:48 ParticleNet :Point Cloud Representation of a Jet Treat Jet as unordered set of particles.
