DY: Fachverband Dynamik und Statistische Physik

DY 45: Focus Session: Physics of AI – Part I (joint session SOE/DY)

Thursday, March 12, 2026, 09:30–10:45, GÖR/0226

The focus session is organized by Claudius Gros (Goethe-Universität Franfurt), Moritz Helias (Forschungszentrum Jülich), Peter Sollich (Georg-August-Universität Göttingen)

This focus session brings together experts in the field of physics-inspired theory of machine learning and artificial intelligence, who aim to supplement the engineering-driven success of AI by a principled theory of neural information processing. Contributions will address how statistical and dynamical perspectives explain learning in modern AI systems and how these insights support interpretability as well as prediction of performance, generalization, and the required resources.
