AI Surrogates for HPC

  • Date:Tuesday, February 27
  • Time:1:00 PM – 2:30 PM EST
  • Location:OLCF User Training (Virtual or In-Person Details TBD)

Event Description: Join us for our second session on “AI Surrogates for HPC,” where we’ll explore the potential of artificial intelligence to aid HPC and drive science. This session will include expert-led discussions, practical examples, and time to share your own HPC + AI efforts with our staff and mentors.

Bonus Opportunity: This event qualifies for a Bonus Point on your Frontier AI Hackathon Participation Proposal form. See https://www.olcf.ornl.gov/calendar/spring-2025-ai-focused-frontier-hackathon/

Topics Covered:

  1. Source Term Estimation Problem:
    An inverse problem tackles the challenge of working backward from observed effects to deduce their causes. Imagine sensors tracking oil spread in the ocean: how do we determine where the spill originated? In this session, we’ll simplify this concept using a 2D heat conduction example: identifying the source of heat on a thin, flat plate based on temperature readings from sensors. Learn how AI can rapidly solve such problems with a single run, bypassing the time-consuming process of iterative simulations.
  2. Interpretability of Surrogate Models:
    Neural networks can feel like black boxes, but interpretability techniques reveal how inputs influence outputs, providing transparency and trust in AI predictions. Discover tools and methods that make surrogate models understandable and actionable, essential for high-stakes applications.

Interactive Discussion: Bring your own HPC + AI challenges and ideas to discuss with our experienced staff and mentors. This is a unique opportunity to exchange knowledge, brainstorm solutions, and explore collaborations.

Who Should Attend:

  • Researchers, developers, and students working on or interested in AI and HPC
  • Participants considering participation in the April Frontier AI Hackathon
  • Anyone curious about applying AI to challenging scientific problems
