The 5th IAEA Technical Meeting on Fusion Data Processing, Validation and Analysis took place in Ghent, from June 12 to 15, 2023.
The objective of the meeting is to provide a platform during which a set of topics relevant to fusion data processing, validation and analysis are discussed. This includes research focused on applying methods from statistics and machine learning for validation and analysis of experimental data obtained from diagnostics used to characterize fusion plasmas. Such developments make important contributions to a knowledge-based understanding of the physical processes governing the dynamics of these plasmas, for plasma control and for extrapolation to next step fusion devices such as ITER. The meeting aims at fostering, in particular, discussions about research and development results that set out or underline trends observed in the current major fusion confinement devices.
