Short course Duality and symmetry in interacting particle systems, by Gunter Schütz

19/03/2025 — 20/03/2025

@ Room P3.10, Mathematics Building, Instituto Superior Técnico

Duality and symmetry in interacting particle systems

Duality is an important concept in the study of stochastic interacting particle systems. For arbitrary initial measures duality expresses expectations of a family of functions at time $t$ in terms of the transition probability of a dual process which may be simpler to analyse. Focussing on countable state space we discuss duality from the perspective of the generator. Unlike the more traditional approach of looking at duality in a pathwise manner this allows us to understand straightforwardly how dualities arise from symmetries, or more generally, from invariant subspaces of the generator and leads to constructive methods for finding useful dualities. Also the new concept of reverse duality comes out naturally. It yields the full probability measure of the process at time t for a family of initial measures in terms of transition probabilities of the dual process and thus allows for the computation of arbitrary expectation values.

Sessions on March 19 and 20, 1:00PM to 2:30PM.

@ Room P3.10, Mathematics Building, Instituto Superior Técnico

A new seminar series starts with three introductory short courses: Introduction to Machine Learning for mathematicians (João Costa, CAMGSD), Universal approximation theorems and reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (Luís Carvalho, CAMGSD) and Infinitely wide Neural Networks (Gonçalo Oliveira, CAMGSD).

IX International Workshop Non-associative algebras in Lisbon

07/04/2025 — 11/04/2025

@ Amphitheatre Va2, Civil Engineering Building, Instituto Superior Técnico

This workshop aims to bring together international researchers working on non-associative algebras to share their latest results. Past editions were held in Brazil, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden.

Principia Analogiae 2025

19/06/2025 — 22/06/2025

@ Computer Science and Engineering Building, Alameda campus, Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisboa

Analogical reasoning is a remarkable human capability, allowing us to adapt to novel situations - an ability that current AI systems still lack.

Much research has suggested that analogies are key to non-brittle systems that can adapt to new domains. Attempts to attack this problem have been fragmented, with different groups focusing on narrow aspects of the problem, each group using their own separate evaluation metrics. We believe that the lack of unifying foundational mathematical frameworks and evaluation benchmarks has been limiting progress in analogy research.

With this conference we aim to bring together leading experts from various research and applied fields to join forces, share perspectives, and collectively define the research agenda for the immediate future. Recognizing the need for foundational work in this area, we seek unifying frameworks, methodologies, and basic principles that will serve as the cornerstone for future advancements.

Principia Analogiae 2025 will involve keynote presentations, followed by working groups to tackle several challenges related to analogy theory and applications. These will be soon announced.

The conference is free of charge but registration is mandatory and places are limited. See the conference site for instructions.
