AI for Physicists AP3751
Hi everyone! Welcome to "AP3751 AI for Physicists". This website will be nominal source of the lecture material and course updates. If you are taking the course for the grade, please sign up in Brightspace as well.
Please bring your laptop to the lectures and to the exercise classes. We will have a lot of fun hand's on exercises ;).
You will be graded based on two things:
1. Homework (You have to complete on quarter-long homework. It will be released below. You will submit your solutions via GitHub.) Deadline: June 5
2. Team project (You will work on quarter-long creative project. The choices of projects and supervisors are listed below. You will hand in a (well documented) project GitHub repository and make a short team presentation of your project where you will both explain your solution and also showcase your code.) The presentation date will be determined in the at the beginning of the course with the input from students.
Course schedule:
(Exercises and slides will appear as the course progresses)
WEEK 1
Lecture (April 24): ML for Physics: Why and How? (by Eliska)
Lecture slides
Blackboard calculation: page 1, page 2
Exercise class (April 25): Pytorch Hands-On Introduction (by QMAI)
In the first exercise class we will go over these PyTorch tutorials:
0. Quickstart
1. Tensors
2. Datasets
3. Transforms
4. Models
5. Computing gradients

HOMEWORK (40% of your grade):
The link to the homework is HERE. There is also a gitlab template repo in the ap3751-homework group named ap3751-HOMEWORK2024.
Note: While during the course we are sometimes working in Google Collaboratory, TU Delft does not allow to use it for summative feedback. For this reason we will ask you to submit your homework solutions as a GitLab repository. Based on the need and interest we will do a short git tutorial during one of the exercises classes and give you extra material that will help you set up your hand-in repo.
Hand-in repo:
1. Log in to gitlab.tudeft.nl with your uni account
2. Request access to this group (https://gitlab.tudelft.nl/ap3751-homework)
3. Click 'Create new project' name it 'ap3751-2024-YOURFAMILYNAME'
TEAM PROJECTS (60% of your grade)
These projects are exploratory creative ideas that came from our team members. We give each team a supervisor and one-page project pitch. We want you to manage your own project, explore literature, test ideas and formulate your conclusions. Do no hesitate to be creative and expand on the bounds of the original project.
PROJECT 1: Quantum State as a Neural Network (with Arash Ahmadi)
PROJECT 2: Generative Adversarial Nets for Modeling Quantum Dots (with Vinicius Hernandes)
PROJECT 3: Genetic Algorithms for Quantum Circuits (with Thomas Spriggs)
PROJECT 4: Automated Tuning of Quantum Dot Processor (with Valentina Gualtieri)
PROJECT 5: Generating Chaotic Paths from a Neural Network (with Ana Silva)
PROJECT 6: Reduce Medical Data Dimensionality with Deep Learning (with Mikolaj Stryja)
PROJECT 7: Classification of Gravitational Wave Detector Glitches (with Valentina Gualtieri)
PROJECT 8: What Makes a Good Image Embedding (with Yi Zhang)
PROJECT 9: Explainable Image Classification (with Yi Zhang)
PROJECT 10: Fast MRI Imaging (with Yidong Zhao)
PROJECT 11: Machine learning image segmentation (with Yidong Zhao)
You need to sign-up for the projects!
