SUMMARY:ZENN: Toward a Science-Based AI Framework for Emergence Across Scales in Complex Multimodal and Heterogeneous Systems
DESCRIPTION:Artificial and biological intelligence can both be viewed as open systems that organize information through the exchange of energy under environmental and boundary constraints. Understanding how complex structures\, functions and behaviors emerge from heterogeneous components across multiple scales remains a fundamental challenge spanning science and AI. \nThe Zentropy theory provides a rigorous framework for understanding emergence across scales through the integration of quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics. Building upon that foundation\, Zentropy-Enhanced Neural Network (ZENN) extends thermodynamic principles to AI and scientific machine learning. ZENN provides a framework for modeling complex multimodal and heterogeneous systems while preserving physical interpretability. The framework has demonstrated strong predictive performance\, robustness and generalization in scientific modeling\, classification and free-energy landscape reconstruction. \nZENN introduces architectural principles that support interpretability\, controllability and stability through configuration-based decomposition and thermodynamic constraints. These features provide a foundation for studying trustworthy and physically grounded AI systems whose behavior can be analyzed across different domains and for different reasons. \nLearn more by attending this workshop where presentations will be given based on topics like using ZENN for geography\, modeling brain states and pollen identification\, as well as how to integrate this framework into your own projects. \nThis workshop will be held on Thursday\, Oct. 15\, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Pollock Dining Commons Room 204AB. Registration is required. Register here: ZENN AI Framework Workshop \nFind complete details on the ICDS website. \n
