DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Zvi Bern (University of California  Los Angeles (US)

 s brings together researchers working on scattering amplitudes and related
  topics to exchange ideas and discuss recent developments in an informal\,
  collaborative setting. Building on this tradition\, the California AI Amp
 litudes School and Workshop will focus on helping the community understand
  and apply artificial intelligence and machine learning to theoretical phy
 sics\, with scattering amplitudes providing concrete case studies.\nAI and
  ML offer promising opportunities to accelerate calculations\, identify ma
 thematical structures\, and develop new research workflows. Realizing this
  potential requires both practical experience and a clear understanding of
  the methods’ capabilities and limitations\, including how to assess and
  validate their results. This school and workshop will combine foundationa
 l lectures\, step-by-step research examples\, and hands-on exercises to he
 lp participants develop that understanding\, share best practices\, and id
 entify applications to their own research.\nThe lectures will be organized
  around three components:\n\nFoundations of machine learning: an introduct
 ion to basic methods.\nResearch case studies: step-by-step examples in whi
 ch ML has helped\, or has strong potential to help\, address problems in s
 cattering amplitudes.\nAI-assisted coding and agentic workflows: best prac
 tices and practical examples\, including "vibe coding."\n\nThese three com
 ponents will form the basis of the first three days of lectures and discus
 sion. A fourth day will be devoted to participant talks\, particularly pre
 sentations on applications of AI/ML to scattering amplitudes.\nOrganizers:
  Zvi Bern\, François Charton\, Lance Dixon\, Sven Harder\, Callum Jones\,
  Zhongbo Kang\, Michael Ruf\, David Shih\, and Matthias Wilhelm.\nThe even
 t is hosted by UCLA's Mani L. Bhaumik Institute for Theoretical Physics.
