ML4CPS – Machine Learning for Cyber-Physical Systems

About the Conference

Cyber-physical systems possess the capability to adjust to evolving demands. When coupled with machine learning, for advanced automation and autonomy in various domains like predictive maintenance, self-optimization, and fault diagnosis spring to mind. An essential condition for exploiting this efficiency potential is the accessibility of machine learning techniques to engineers.

Therefore, the 8th Machine Learning 4 Cyber Physical Systems – ML4CPS – conference offers researchers and users from various fields an exchange platform. The conference will take place March 2025, 6^th till 7^th at the Fraunhofer Forum in Berlin. Hosts are Fraunhofer IOSB, Helmut Schmidt University, Hamburg University of Technology and the Chair of Production Engineering of E-Mobility Components (PEM) of RWTH Aachen.

Papers may cover, but are not limited to the following topics:

• Generative AI for CPS: Technologies like large language models facilitate human-like interactions with machines. This unlocks novel opportunities for intelligent automa­tion and the increase of the overall performance and func­tionality of cyber-physical systems.
• Automated Modelling: Developing and using models to learn behaviors and structures of cyber-physical systems. This includes intelligent methods to integrate prior and domain-knowledge as well as engineering approaches.
• Industrial AI: Integrating AI into manufacturing processes can help to optimize them and enhance operational efficiency. Integrating AI into legacy systems and existing infrastructure is still a major challenge.
• Edge AI: This involves running AI algorithms directly on local devices, which enables real-time data processing. Main challenges are energy efficiency and limited computational resources.
• Self-supervised learning: Minimizing the reliance on large, labeled datasets for machine learning is a key focus when examining production data. Techniques that allow models to learn from unlabeled data are essential.
