FTorch: Enabling modern machine learning in large-scale scientific software
20 October 2025
Many fields, from climate science to nuclear fusion, make use of large-scale scientific modelling codes to conduct research. Recently there has been an interest in combining these with new machine learning (ML) techniques to create ‘hybrid models’, leveraging new techniques in data-driven science. Doing so is not straightforward, however. The process presents technical challenges as well as new scientific questions and methods that arise from exploring these new frontiers.
