This 3-day collaborative opportunity will take place on June 13 - 15th at EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland. Artificially intelligent algorithms are becoming an increasingly prominent field of research, with interesting applications in molecular and material property prediction, structural and compositional analysis as well as chemical compound and materials design. The main goal of this conference is to bring together research groups from biomolecular simulations and ab-initio computation with those from machine learning and evolutionary/stochastic optimisation to further encourage the development of these fields. The deadline for the submission of posters and contributed talks is 15th April 2018. Topics Analysis of high-dimensional molecular simulation data with the help of feature selection algorithms Biomimetic design of proteins via stochastic optimisation Density functional optimisation and development Dimensionality reduction and collective variables Descriptor identification Machine learning of static and dynamical properties of molecules and materials Machine learning of phase diagrams and classification of new phases Machine learning of potential energy surfaces and atomic forces Machine learning based force fields Invited speakers include Paul Ayers, McMaster University - Canada Albert P. Bartok, STFC - United Kingdom Kieron Burke, University of California - United States Pablo Campomanes, University of Fribourg - Switzerland Clemence Corminboeuf, EPFL - Switzerland Anatole von Lilienfeld, University of Basel - Switzerland Nicola Marzari, EPFL - Switzerland Michele Parinello, ETH Zurich - Switzerland Alessandro De Vita, King's College London - United Kingdom Cordially, the organizers Ursula Roethlisberger Nicholas Browning Murat Kilic Justin Villard
