OFFICIAL WEBSITE - PROGRAM
POSTERThe main goal of this program is to gather the community of researchers working on questions that relate in some way statistical physics and high dimensional statistical inference. The format will be several (~10) 3h introductory lectures, and about twice as many contributed invited talks. The topics include:
- Energy/loss landscapes in disordered systems, machine learning and inference problems
- Computational and statistical thresholds and trade-offs
- Theory of artificial multilayer neural networks
- Rigorous approaches to spin glasses and related models of statistical inference
- Parallels between optimisation algorithms and dynamics in physics
- Vindicating the replica and cavity method rigorously
- Current trends in variational Bayes inference
- Message passing algorithms
- Applications on machine learning in condensed matter physics
- Information processing in biological systems

I appreciate your goal this is a very good program to gather a community of researchers I also know some of the researchers from MindEdge and they are more likely involve in machine learning and some of them are interested in statistical physics kidly, consider them in your program.
