Workshop on Neural Networks, Learning, and Multilevel Finite Element Methods

Center for Computational Mathematics and its Applications

Department of Mathematics at Penn State

Nov 3-5, 2021 at The Penn Stater (Hotel & Conference Center)

Purpose. The focus of this workshop is on the development, analysis, and application of fundamental mathematical theories and advanced modeling and simulation techniques to partial differential equations (PDEs), especially using (deep) neural networks (DNN), multilevel adaptive finite element methods (FEM) and symbiosis of both. The overarching goal of this forum is to connect the communities working on numerical PDEs, neural network and machine learning, and to provide unique opportunity for collaborations and networking towards creating better and more efficient computational tools, methods and techniques for the future.

The workshop is held in honor of Jinchao Xu’s 40 years of achievements in mathematical research, and is being hosted by the Center for Computational Mathematics and Applications and the Department of Mathematics at Penn State. The scientific program for the workshop can be found [ here ]. The list of all participants is found [ here ].
