R/PS provides a tightly scoped forum bringing together machine learning researchers\, computational scientists\, and physicists to explore how representation learning can unlock breakthroughs across physical systems. \n\n \n 13 DecWorkshop day\, 2026\n ParisSorbonne University\n 5Invited speakers\n 4Core themes\n \n\n About the workshop\n\n Physical data are inherently continuous\, multi-scale\, non-Euclidean\, and strictly bound by physical laws. While standard machine learning architectures have driven massive successes in vision and language\, standard pretext tasks\, patching\, and loss functions often fail to preserve underlying physical symmetries\, conservation principles\, and sub-grid dynamics. \n\n For its first edition\, the R/PS workshop addresses the foundational representation learning bottleneck in physical systems. We focus on four key interconnected themes: self-supervision under physical constraints\, out-of-distribution transfer to actionable regimes\, adaptive simulation sampling\, and discrete tokenization of continuous physical modalities. \n\n Core themes\n\n \n \n Self-Supervision\n Learning with no labels\n Extracting physical structures from abundant unlabeled data while ensuring SSL pretext objectives preserve conservation laws and physical constraints.\n \n \n Transfer Learning\n Falsifiable generalization\n Ensuring model predictions extrapolate reliably into physically meaningful OOD regimes where wet-lab or high-fidelity validation is expensive.\n \n \n Sampling\n Adaptive data generation\n Leveraging simulators (MD\, DFT\, CFD\, PDE solvers) and experimental loops to shape the training distribution via adaptive sampling.\n \n \n Tokenization\n Physical modalities\n Designing novel tokenization schemes for continuous\, multi-scale\, and geometric data without destroying sub-grid dynamics or symmetries.\n \n \n\n Topics of interest\n\n \n Self-supervised objectives preserving physical constraints & conservation laws\n Out-of-distribution extrapolation & falsifiable embedding evaluation\n Adaptive simulation & closed-loop data generation with PDE/DFT solvers\n Geometric\, continuous\, and multi-scale tokenization for physical data\n Research Notes on open problems\, benchmarks\, paradigms\, and datasets\n Physics-informed foundation models and geometric representations\n \n\n Invited speakers\n\n \n \n Nils Thuerey\n Technical University of Munich\n Researches deep learning\, partial differential equations\, and fluid dynamics simulations.\n \n \n Jean-Philippe Vert\n Bioptimus\n Specializes in machine learning for biology\, genomics\, and precision medicine.\n \n \n Mark Girolami\n University of Cambridge\n Focuses on statistical ML\, uncertainty quantification\, and engineering applications.\n \n \n Francesco Locatello\n ISTA\n Works on causal representation learning\, causal discovery\, and AI for scientific discovery.\n \n \n Jigyasa Nigam\n Flatiron Institute\n Researches atomistic systems and physically constrained machine learning.\n \n \n\n Program & Format\n\n The workshop is a single-day in-person event featuring invited keynotes\, oral presentations of accepted short papers\, interactive poster sessions\, and community discussions. \n\n \n KeynotesInvited talks by leading researchers at the intersection of physics\, AI\, and scientific computing.\n Contributed Talks & PostersOral and poster presentations selected from peer-reviewed short paper submissions.\n Discussion & NetworkingStructured time for interdisciplinary exchange\, open discussions\, and collaboration.\n \n\n Important dates\n\n \n July 29\, 2026 (AoE)Call for papers opens\n August 29\, 2026 (AoE)Paper submission deadline\n September 29\, 2026 (AoE)Author notification\n December 13\, 2026Workshop day\n \n\n Submission information\n\n \n \n Short Papers\n Up to 4 pages (excluding references and appendices) for mature or ongoing research.\n \n \n Research Notes\n Accessible explanations of open problems\, paradigms\, datasets\, or algorithms.
