The research area "Machine Learning Physics" will begin
with the aim of discovering new laws and pioneering new materials

Hello. My name is Koji Hashimoto, Professor of Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University. Let me explain about the "Learning Physics Domain" that we are just now trying to create. This new transformative research area aims to revolutionize fundamental physics by combining machine learning and physics.

Throughout its long history, physics has provided the most precise testing ground in the natural sciences, solving problems in various natural hierarchies in collaboration with the mathematical sciences.

On the other hand, the field of machine learning is a major research field, a mathematical system that forms the foundation of artificial intelligence and has seen explosive progress in recent years due to advances in computational science. We are launching the transformative research area "Machine Learning Physics" to integrate these two major fields.

In this area, we will tackle the most important challenges in fundamental physics, such as the discovery of new laws and the exploration of new materials, by integrating machine learning methods with physics.

Although the fields of physics in which machine learning is used are diverse, we have structured the core of our research area to focus on subjects where theoretical fusion is possible. We prepare physics fields for fusion (computational physics, particle physics, condensed matter physics, quantum and gravitational physics) and machine learning methods (mathematical, high-dimensional statistics, topology) and promote fusion research from the intersection of each to create the machine learning physics area. These planned research projects will be supplemented by open research proposals, aiming to create a wide range of fusion research areas.

We look forward to your participation.
