Dear colleagues,

This is a reminder of our invite to join us at the "Young Researcher's Workshop on Machine Learning for Materials Science" at Aalto University (Helsinki, Finland). We will bring together young researchers, experts from computer science and applied mathematics, and renowned scientists in the field of chemistry and physics for discussions about the present and the future of applying machine learning (ML) methods in material science (MS). The workshop features:

- a two-day ML school, including an in-depth theoretical introduction to the field by invited speakers (G.Csányi, L. Ghiringhelli, N. Artrith, M. Ceriotti) and hands-on computing sessions.

- additional invited talks on the latest ML method developments in computers science, state-of-the-art applications of ML algorithms in MS, and applications of ML in the industry and IT sectors (IBM materials research, IBM power AI, Curious AI, and others).

- extended discussion sessions with all participants to facilitate cross-disciplinary knowledge transfer and pursue novel solutions in the research field.

The event is free of charge to registered participants thanks to generous support from CECAM, Psi-K and Aalto University. Invited speakers include:

Antonietta Mira, Università della Svizzera Italiana, Switzerland

Gabor Csányi, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom

Karsten Wedel Jacobsen, Technical University of Denmark, Denmark

Luca Ghiringhelli, Fritz Haber Institute, Germany

Michele Allegra, Institute de Neurosciences de la Timone, France

Michele Ceriotti, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland

Nongnuch Artrith, Columbia University, United States

Olexandr Isayev, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, United States

Philippe Schwaller, IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, Switzerland

Rafael Gomez-Bombarelli, MIT, United States

Simon Olsson, Freie Universität Berlin

Thomas Hammerschmidt, Ruhr-Universitat Bochum, Germany

Teemu Roos, University of Helsinki, Finland

We welcome your oral and poster contributions at our website https://ml4ms2019.aalto.fi/. A "best talk by young investigators" prize will be awarded thanks to the support of the International Journal of Quantum Chemistry – Wiley and Sons, inc. The abstract and registration deadline closes Next Week, on the 10 of March, 2019. A preliminary programme is also available online at https://ml4ms2019.aalto.fi/.

We look forward to seeing you in Helsinki!
