The Science with AI Lab (SAIL) is a research group hosted at the Montefiore Institute of the University of Liège, Belgium. We are a team of researchers working on the development of deep generative models and probabilistic methods for scientific simulations and analysis.

Our main research areas include inverse problems, simulation-based inference, and neural emulation, spanning domains such as particle physics, astronomy, neuroimaging, weather science, and oceanography.
