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 learning models and statistical methods for scientific applications, with a strong emphasis on (Bayesian) inverse problems in the physical sciences. Our research spans a variety of scientific domains, including particle physics, astronomy, neuroimaging, weather science and oceanography.
