On-line course on Big Data and Artificial Intelligence in Materials Sciences

Organised by NOMAD

In the winter term 2020/21, we offer an on-line course, which includes extensive hands-on sessions, on "Big Data and Artificial Intelligence in Materials Sciences".
The course covers all the hottest topics in artificial intelligence, including machine and deep learning, compressed sensing, and data mining. General and specific AI concepts are introduced, always with a focus on Materials Science applications, in particular the design and discovery of improved, new, and novel materials for contemporary and future technological advances.

The course is designed to have a strong interactive character. Besides weekly lectures, also by international guest lecturers, it includes four extended hands-on exercises, based on the infrastructure of the NOMAD Laboratory, thus enabling the participants for a smooth transition from learning the basic principles to apply them to analyze the largest database of high-quality Materials-Science data.
