Abstract:
Advances in AI are fueling a new paradigm of discoveries in natural sciences. Today, AI has started to advance natural sciences by improving, accelerating, and enabling our understanding of natural phenomena at a wide range of spatial and temporal scales, giving rise to a new area of research known as AI for science (AI4Science). In this talk, I will present our work on understanding the physical world from the subatomic (wavefunctions and electron density), atomic (molecules, proteins, materials, and interactions), to macro (fluids, PDE) scales. My talk will focus on how to capture symmetries in physical systems. I will also discuss a few other technical challenges, including explainability, out-of-distribution generalization, and foundation and large language models.
