An introduction to physics-informed neural networks (PINNs)

In May, Center4ML (Faculty of Physics) and ICM UW jointly organized a workshop within the EuroCC2 project, titled “ML Workshop: Physics-Informed Neural Networks and Neural Operators”. Recordings from this event are available on our YT channel.

PINNs are a type of machine learning model that can be used to solve partial differential equations (PDEs), which are ubiquitous in physics, engineering, and other fields. PINNs work by embedding the physical laws that govern a given system into the learning process. This allows PINNs to learn accurate solutions to PDEs, even with very spare data.
