Day 2

Hands-on training

Friday 28 March 2025, 8.30am to 11.30am AEDT
Presented by Jan Drgona, Pacific Northwest National Lab (USA).

Jan will be presenting our scientific machine learning library called Neuromancer.

Neural Modules with Adaptive Nonlinear Constraints and Efficient Regularizations (NeuroMANCER) is an open-source differentiable programming (DP) library for solving parametric constrained optimization problems, physics-informed system identification, and parametric model-based optimal control. NeuroMANCER is written in PyTorch and allows for systematic integration of machine learning with scientific computing for creating end-to-end differentiable models and algorithms embedded with prior knowledge and physics.

Hands-on training $25 with Symposium registration. Separate registration to attend the hands-on training session on 28 March 2025 only is available here.
