Since 2017, this session has brought together researchers applying machine learning (ML) across all domains of Heliophysics and Space Weather. We invite contributions using a range of techniques—including classification, regression, dimensionality reduction, inverse problems, deep learning, Bayesian methods, uncertainty quantification, and physics-informed ML—with a strong emphasis on scientific advancement. We are not seeking proof-of-concept studies; instead, we will prioritize work that clearly demonstrates how ML enables or enhances physical understanding, drives discovery, or improves the scientific value of observations and models. We also encourage discussion of emerging themes such as reproducibility, interpretability, and the use of generative AI—including Large Language Models and other foundation models—to support research workflows, foster hypothesis generation, or augment scientific analysis. This session aims to showcase the cutting edge of science-driven ML in Heliophysics, bringing together method developers and domain experts committed to rigorous, impactful, and interpretable applications of AI.
