Numerical Physics and Machine Learning

Course description

We will cover many algothims used in many-body problems and complex systems: Monte Carlo methods, molecular dynamics and optmization in complex landscapes. We shall also discuss the use of some machine learning algorithms (Boltzmann machines, Auto-encoder, Deep Learning) for physics problems. We focus on algorithms and physics, not on programming and heavy numerics. The theoretical lecture is followed by a tutorial introducing concrete numerical exercises. You will have to hand in 3 homeworks.
