Breakout Groups

Working Groups

TPC25 will feature breakouts from current and prospective working groups, including:

  • Data, Training, and Fine-Tuning Workflows
  • Model Architectures and Performance Evaluation
  • Scientific Skills and Safety Evaluation
  • Applications (multiple working groups representing disciplines ranging from life sciences to cosmology)
  • Outreach/Education
  • Scientific Software Engineering and Optimization Using AI

Breakouts will be organized by working group co-chairs and will feature a balance of lightning talks and discussions aimed at identifying and advancing collaborations. Breakout sessions also provide opportunities for new groups to form, and thus community leaders are encouraged to propose “birds of a feather” (BOF) sessions during the breakouts.

The TPC25 program committee is seeking to include BOF sessions designed to stimulate new working groups focused on topics such as various industry applications (e.g., manufacturing, supply chain, finance) and collaboration opportunities among academia, national laboratories, and AI companies.

Working group leaders will be scheduling breakout sessions that cover some of these and other topics, but we also encourage any group of participants to propose to organize BOF sessions on these or other topics.

Session Topics

Specific session topics that these existing and prospective working groups will tackle include:

  • Agentic workflows and architectures, particularly for implementation of scientific assistants or self-driven multi-component systems such as laboratories, manufacturing processes, or software development.
  • Scale-up infrastructure for large-scale inference services, ranging from at-scale experiments and broad communities of interactive users and applications to “AI Factories for Science.”
  • AI for scientific code development and optimization on novel hardware architectures.
  • Integration of AI into scientific tools for scientific experiments and software development, e.g., Python Notebooks, scientific visualization tools, or more general scientific environments such as Matlab and Mathematica.
  • Domain-specific vs. general-scientific foundation models and how domain-specific models might augment and extend advanced reasoning models.
  • Prototyping and evaluating reasoning models integrated with HPC, databases, scientific experiments, and domain-specific foundation models.
  • Extending reasoning capabilities in domains that are less axiomatic than mathematics or physics, such as in biology or economics.
  • Using LLMs and other AI model architectures to extract and build workflows and tools for entire scientific domains.
  • Implementing and evaluating new techniques such as federated learning or model distillation.
  • Integrating AI in HPC with AI-at-the-Edge and smaller and/or specialized platforms and models.
  • AI for design and optimization of scientific infrastructure, ranging from automated laboratories and factories to HPC infrastructure and workflows to intelligent sensor networks.

Session topics will be finalized in May based on proposals reviewed by the program committee. The TPC24 Barcelona all-hands conference breakouts exemplify how these sessions will be organized.
