MLIP 2023 is a CECAM & Psi-k hybrid school aimed at young and early-career researchers who are interested in using machine learning interatomic potentials (ML-IP) in their research. The two main goals of this school are:
to give researchers a solid introduction to the basic scientific techniques of designing, fitting, and validating MLIPs for chemical/material systems
to provide a platform for those interested in using MLIPs to connect with those involved in MLIP development to accelerate the adoption of ML techniques in the wider atomistic simulation community
MLIP 2023 was the second edition of the MLIP 2021 workshop, and took place in person at Aalto University in Espoo, Finland, from 06–10 November 2023. Remote, online participation was also possible.
The school consisted of keynote lectures on different topics of MLIP as well as hands-on tutorials that allowed the participants to apply the explained concepts to relevant toy cases and also their own research. The invited speakers were chosen from leading scientists in the field of ML-IP, at various career stages, who are well-equipped to share their experience with those getting started in the field.
