Description
We invite you to the Future of Artificial Intelligence for Science in Japan (FAIRS-Japan) workshop. Our goal is to help define AI/ML research directions in Japan across different science domains for the next five years.
There have been rapid advances in AI/ML research, and their use is now widespread across science. However, the main research directions and priorities are not always clear. We believe it would be immensely beneficial for the community to come together and discuss:
- Key domain-science research challenges that are best addressed using AI/ML
- Potential and promising AI/ML techniques that can address those challenges
Logistics
- When: October 5th to 9th, 2026ย
- Where: Kobayashi-Maskawa Institute (KMI), Nagoya University
- Event Structure: The first 3 days of the events will focus on challenges and opportunities for AI research in Japan dedicated to specific scientific fields including astrophysics and cosmology, neutrino physics, collider physics, and accelerator physics. The last 2 days of the event will focus on discussions of common methods that can bridge multiple disciplines and are helpful for the whole community and provide opportunities for joint research.
