DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\nWe are looking forward to welcoming you to the third a
 nnual HAMLET-PHYSICS Conference\, to be held in sunny Copenhagen\, August 
 19 - 21\, 2026. It follows two very successful editions in 2024 and 2025.\
 nThe workshop has three main goals:\n1. To bring together Danish and inter
 national physicists using ML to meet\, share ideas\, and build community a
 cross location and physics specialty\n2. To bring domain scientists into c
 lose contact with ML experts\, to build community across the theory - appl
 ication bridge\n3. To provide a friendly environment for researchers to sh
 are best practices\, for students to interact with experts\, and for other
  sciences and industry to understand the state of ML in physics\n\n\n\n\n\
 nScientific Program\n\nKeynotes\, plenaries and parallels\nDiscussions and
  (AI-assisted) research speed-dating\nBeer talks and train-ride chats\nHac
 kathons and demonstrations from experts in high performance computing and 
 machine learning\n\n \nAbstracts are open for contributions at the inters
 ection of machine learning and\n\nParticle physics\nAstrophysics and cosmo
 logy\nQuantum physics\nBiophysics\nClimate science\nGeophysics\nMolecular 
 physics\nCondensed matter\n\nThis is not an exhaustive list. We warmly wel
 come all submissions for talks\, suggestions and ideas\, and will strive t
 o accommodate all submissions.\n \nKeynote Speakers\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel Whi
 teson\nUniversity of California\, Irvine\nDaniel Whiteson is a Professor o
 f Physics & Astronomy at UC Irvine\, where he also holds a joint appointme
 nt in Logic and Philosophy of Science. He was one of the earliest research
 ers to bring deep learning into experimental physics\, and his work on inf
 erence and learning ranges widely — from the ATLAS experiment at CERN to
  CRAYFIS\, a distributed project that turns ordinary smartphone cameras in
 to a global cosmic-ray detector\, and machine-learned exploration of the s
 pace of possible universes. He is also a leading science communicator\, co
 -authoring popular-science books with cartoonist Jorge Cham and co-hosting
  a widely followed physics podcast.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShah Rukh Qasim\nETH Zuri
 ch\nShah Rukh Qasim works at the interface of machine learning and reconst
 ruction. He is a co-developer of object condensation — a general\, one-s
 hot technique for reconstructing many objects at once from graph- and imag
 e-structured data — and of GravNet-style distance-weighted graph neural 
 networks. Much of his work applies these methods to reconstructing particl
 es directly from detector hits in high-granularity calorimeters such as th
 e CMS HGCAL\, and extends to real-time graph-network inference on FPGAs.\n
 \n\n\n\n\n\nGabriel Facini\nUniversity College London\nGabriel Facini is a
 n Associate Professor of Data Intensive Science and Physics at UCL and a c
 ore member of its Centre for Data Intensive Science and Industry\, which b
 rings machine learning to bear across astrophysics\, high-energy physics\,
  computer science and industry. He co-organises UCL's interdisciplinary AI
  for Data-Intensive Science and Industry programme and supervises students
  on applied ML placements with partners across media\, analytics and the p
 ublic sector. Within fundamental physics he works on charged-particle trac
 king\, jet reconstruction and flavour tagging\, and has helped carry moder
 n architectures — such as transformer- and MaskFormer-based models drawn
  from computer vision — into scientific reconstruction.\n\n\n\n\nImporta
 nt Dates\n\nRegistration & abstract submission opens: April 13\, 2026\nAbs
 tract deadline: June 15\, 2026\nNotification of talks: July 1\, 2026\nProg
 ram online: August 1\, 2026\nRegistration deadline: August 1\, 2026\nScien
 tific program of the conference begins August 19\, 09.00\nScientific progr
 am of the conference ends August 21\, 17.00\n\nAbstracts submitted after t
 he deadline will be considered on a case-by-case basis.\nSocial Program\nW
 ednesday August 19th will feature a poster session and reception event at 
 the University of Copenhagen Biocenter.\nOn Thursday evening August 20th\,
  the workshop will take to the rails: A heritage 1950s Norwegian State Rai
 l diesel locomotive will take workshop attendees from Copenhagen (Østerpo
 rt Station) to Kronborg Castle in Helsingør (location of Shakespeare's Ha
 mlet tale).\n\nWhile on board\, refreshments will be served\, and breakout
  sessions will occur according to attendees research areas of interest. A 
 visit of Kronborg will be included\, along with an open-air conference din
 ner in Helsingør. \nOrganization\nLocal Organizing Committee\n\nDaniel M
