Low-level hardware parameters are combined into higher-level accelerator physics parameters defined by theory and simulation. For effects not fully captured by the models in the control systems, high-level feedforward systems are available. This abstraction allowed us to deterministically operate machines such as the LHC. Still, not all effects are fully under control with this approach and shift crews are required to manually tune with lower intensity after configuration changes in the CERN lower energy machines or limit drastically the number of configuration changes as applied in the LHC. Machine Learning techniques allow to model hysteresis among other effects, learn online models from online data, interpret complex data from beam diagnostics systems and speed up compute-heavy data analysis of online data or simulations to use them online in the control room. All this can be used for optimal control of today&#8217;s accelerators. For this to become true, ways of how to integrate machine learning in the control system of the control room and making ML plug &amp; play must be prepared in addition to sufficient expertise with ML techniques. This talk will summarise the results of ML and other advanced algorithms of recent years for optimising the performance of CERN&#8217;s accelerators.

In some cases, we also need to automate those decisions as well.

This has allowed us to understand what were our weaknesses, which are our strengths and what challenges we must still solve.

Autonomous data acquisition becomes increasingly important for the execution and analysis of ever more complex experiments in many different scientific and industrial domains [1]. In autonomous learning, algorithms learn, from a comparably little amount of input data, a strategy to explore the multidimensional parameter space in an efficient way. Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) [2] is one of the most frequently employed algorithms for autonomous experiments, providing a quick, non-parametric and robust approximation and uncertainty quantification method.<br>GPR can be extremely powerful, when combined with a point-by-point data acquisition method, such as in the case of classical triple-axis spectroscopy (TAS). TAS is known since the 1960ies [3] as efficient method for exploring the scattering function S(Q,\uf077) in restricted regions of the neutron energy transfer \uf077 and momentum Q space, essentially relying on so-called const- Q (or const-\uf020\uf077\uf029 scans. With the autonomous approach, underpinned by GPR, we abandon now the traditional way of TAS and explore new strategies with the aim of capturing the scattering function with a minimum amount of measuring points and, hence, measuring time. We used the GPR based algorithm gpCAM [4-6] in a series of test measurements on the cold TAS ThALES (@ILL, Grenoble), where gpCAM took control over the measurement process, without any intervention of the instrument scientists. Completely \u2018agnostic\u2019, i.e. without any prior information on the physical model or expected signal of the measured sample, the algorithm explored various accessible regions in the sample\u2019s reciprocal space and reconstructed the signal with a strongly reduced number of total measuring points compared to a conventional \u2018grid\u2019 scanning technique (i.e. const-Q, const-E scans).<br>We propose to present this new experimental procedure and compare it to traditional data acquisition on triple-axis spectrometers. We show a perspective for the future experimental possibilities and how the scientific measurements could evolve in conjunction with modern algorithms.<\/em><br><br>Contributors: M. Boehm, M.

Among all available methods, microscopy methodologies have been evolving at high speed leading to the establishment of many imaging modalities targeting different biological scales. However, the application of such technologies to solve the emerging biological questions is often associated with various challenges, including the time-consuming need to identify specific species at specific biological states and locate specific anatomical locations in complex and heterogeneous sample preparations. To tackle these challenges the EMBL core facilities and labs established approaches to control advanced imaging experiments using fully automated computational methods. With this \u201cAdaptive Feedback Microscopy,\u201d framework target objects (e.g. organelles, cells or multicellular structures) are automatically identified and subsequently automatically imaged in the respective high-content modality. The established tools can couple commercial microscopes to automated open-source (machine learning-based) image analysis routines defined by the researchers or with the assistance of service staff.<\/em><br><br>Contributors: Manuel Gunkel, Marco Raffaele Cosenza, Martin Schorb, Sebastian Koehrer, Yannick Schwab, Thomas Schneider, Jose Marguez, Jim Swoger, Alvaro Crevenna, Sanjana Singh, Joanna Zukowska-Kasprzyk<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>15:30-16:30<\/td><td><strong>Panel discussion<\/strong> on SciOps AI infrastructure, instrument diagnostics and synergies<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption> Please see the schedule for the exact location <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details  class=\"vf-details\" id=\"\"  >\n<summary class=\"vf-details--summary\">\nAI and machine learning in scientific analytics<\/summary>\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<p>Chaired by <strong>Alexandra Pacureanu (ESRF), Anna Kreshuk (EMBL), Shervin Nourbakhsh (ILL), Felix Stoehr (ESO), Maurizio Pierini (CERN) and Arman Davtyan (EuXFEL) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This workshop will focus on the analysis of scientific data from instruments using machine learning and AI with examples including Image analysis from telescopes and microscopes, DNA sequence analysis and the analysis of high energy physics data, automated 3D volume segmentation, &#8216;big data&#8217; approaches (many datasets).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> A talk from representatives from several EIROforum members will be followed by a discussion to identify commonalities and differences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Session 1:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Time<\/th><th>Speaker<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>14:30-14:40<\/td><td>Introduction to workshop<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>14:40-15:10<\/td><td><strong>Jan Kieseler, CERN<\/strong><br>Deep Learning for Particle Physics: from event reconstruction <br>to data analysis<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>15:10-15:40<\/td><td><strong>Anna Kreshuk, EMBL<\/strong><br>Overview talk<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>15:40-16:00<\/td><td><strong>Felix Stoehr, ESO<\/strong><br>Overview talk<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>16:00-16:30<\/td><td><strong>Ewen Bellec, ESRF<\/strong><br>Crystal defect classification from diffraction patterns<br><strong>Alexandra Pacureanu<br><\/strong>Machine learning for 3D X-ray bioimaging at nanoscale<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption> Please see the schedule for the exact location <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Session 2:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Time<\/th><th>Speaker<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>17:00-17:30<\/td><td><strong>Felix Brausse EuXFEL<\/strong>, <br>Dealing with Data at European XFEL: Learning Algorithms for<br>Data Reduction, Automated Analysis, and Accelerated Discovery<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>17:30-18:00<\/td><td><strong>Elisa Rebolini ILL,<\/strong> <br>Machine learning in neutron physics<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>18:00-19:00<\/td><td><strong>Panel discussion<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption>  Please see the schedule for the exact location  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details  class=\"vf-details\" id=\"\"  >\n<summary class=\"vf-details--summary\">\nCareer paths and training in scientific infrastructures<\/summary>\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<p>Chaired by <strong>Andy Yates (EMBL-EBI), Stefan Roiser (CERN), Gaitee Hussain (ESA), Christian Stephan (ESO) and Elizabeth Humpreys (ESO<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This workshop will focus on discussions of career paths for scientific engineers, data scientists and other infrastructure scientists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Session 1: On training schemes and practices within EIROforum  <\/strong><br>Staff development and training are<em> key to ensuring productive projects as these allow staff to acquire new skills and knowledge that both help personal development and drive projects forward.

Those who are interested in their development make steps to drive it forward. For many though the skills, competencies and behaviours of roles within their organisations can be unclear and create a barrier to progression. This session will first review an existing development framework, track how it was created and how it is employed. We would then look to other EIROforum members to also present their own frameworks where they exist. The session aims to inform EIROforum members who do not have development frameworks how they might start the process of creating one.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mission statement<\/strong><br>Understand what is considered mature methods to help staff at EIROforum members develop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Questions to be answered<\/strong><\/li><li>What methods have been used by forum members to create a development framework?<\/li><li>How well have these frameworks worked<\/li><li>What can be learned from each of these frameworks<\/li><li>How would forum members without a framework approach this challenge<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Time<\/th><th>Speaker<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>17:00-17:25<\/td><td><strong>Benjamin Salignat, CERN<\/strong><br>CERN \u201cbenchmark jobs\u201d<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>17:25-17:50<\/td><td><strong>Andy Yates, EMBL-EBI<\/strong><br>Developing and deploying a competency <br>framework at EMBL-EBI<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>17:50-18:40<\/td><td>Wider discussion<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>18:40-19:00<\/td><td>Wrap-up, discussion points, close<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption>Please see the schedule for the exact location<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details  class=\"vf-details\" id=\"\"  >\n<summary class=\"vf-details--summary\">\nOpen Access Data, User communities and citizen science<\/summary>\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<p>Chaired by <strong>Jo McEntyre (EMBL), Erwan Le Gall (ILL), Andy Gotz (ESRF), Enrica Porcari (CERN), P\u00e4r Strand (EUROfusion), Martino Romaniello (ESO), Fabio Dall\u2019Antonia (EuXFEL)<\/strong> <strong>and Bruno Merin (ESA)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This workshop will focus on how do data infrastructure deliver\/share data and enable further analysis by both machine learning and AI techniques by a wide range of users?
