AI + HPC for Astrophysics

If you have a question about this talk, please contact James Fergusson .

Can we already use AI as a new tool to do research in astrophysics? The answer to this question depends on whether we can map our astrophysical problems to AI problems. Existing AI algorithms/models driven by industrial developers can indeed be used to tackle some (but not all) astrophysical problems that are data-intensive, compute-intensive, or both. Nevertheless, due to the unique properties of physics data, adapting AI for astrophysics is by no means frictionless. In this talk, I will review the journey of astrophysical research from analytical models to empirical models, to data-driven discovery of physical laws, and eventually to augmenting AI models with inductive biases. I will also talk about upscaling AI models to massively parallel computers, an interplay of HPC and AI that makes training large models and ingesting huge datasets possible.
