Julia Ling

Technical Lead
Tidal 
Picture
 
Dr. Julia Ling is the Technical Lead at Tidal, an X project focused on protecting the ocean while feeding humanity. She's a recognized leader in applying machine learning to scientific applications. She was a Truman Fellow at Sandia National Labs where she helped pioneer the application of deep learning to turbulence modeling. Prior to Tidal, Julia was at Citrine Informatics where she led core technology development for applying machine learning to materials and chemicals development. She holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University and a Bachelors in Physics from Princeton University.

Workshop: Machine Learning for Scientific R&D: Why it's Hard and Why it's Fun
Prerequisite: Some familiarity with basic ML concepts, e.g. training data, test data, cross-validation, model training

Why has the pace of adoption of machine learning in scientific R&D been so slow compared to other application areas? This talk will cover some of the key challenges in machine learning for R&D applications: the small, often-messy, sample-biased datasets; the exploratory nature of scientific discovery; and the curious, hands-on approach of scientific users. We will discuss potential solutions to these challenges, including transfer learning, integration of scientific domain knowledge, uncertainty quantification, and machine learning model interpretability. We will walk through illustrative case studies from both turbulence modeling and materials development to show how these challenges and solutions manifest in real-life use cases.
