AI-MI–Supported Research Cuts Diffusion Sampling Cost 10× by Tuning the Timestep Schedule
An AI-MI–supported study shows how to cut the cost of generating an image with a diffusion model by roughly ten times — not by changing the model, but by choosing better points along its sampling schedule. Sampling from a diffusion model means…
AI-MI–Supported Study Confirms Superconductivity Across a Family Built Around an AI-Predicted Compound
An artificial-intelligence method predicted PtPb3Bi would superconduct. A new AI-MI–supported study in Chemistry of Materials confirms it, and finds superconductivity across the wider MPb4-xBix family (M = Au, Pd, Rh).
AI-MI Director Eun-Ah Kim Speaks at KITP Program on AI for Quantum Matter
AI-MI Director Eun-Ah Kim gave a talk at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics program AI for Quantum Matter, where she also serves as a scientific advisor.
AI-MI Research Opens the AI-Driven Scientific Discovery Session at KDD 2026
AI-MI–supported research is on the program at KDD 2026, the 32nd ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, running August 9–13 at ICC Jeju in Korea.
AI-MI Summer Undergraduate Research Program Wraps Up Its 2026 Cohort

AI-MI Seminar Series: Adrian Del Maestro (University of Tennessee)
Seminar
Predictions for helium on atomically thin substrates depend sensitively on the adsorption potential. Adrian Del Maestro (University of Tennessee, Knoxville) combines coupled-cluster calculations, multi-fidelity Gaussian process regression and knowledge distillation to reach single-wavenumber accuracy.
