Conferences & Workshops

This 2-day workshop at the Institute for Advanced Study focused on research at the intersection of reinforcement learning, control and optimization. When collecting data to solve real-life and real-time problems in dynamic environments, a host of...

This invitation-only workshop brought together experts in machine learning and social scientists in an effort to reflect on the social and ethical challenges of producing machine learning and using it "in the wild." Topics included the social and...

The workshop was organized by Sanjeev Arora (IAS/Princeton University), Joan Bruna (IAS/NYU), Rong Ge (IAS/Duke), Suriya Gunasekar(IAS/Toyota Technical Institute), Jason Lee (IAS/USC), Bin Yu (IAS/UC...

The workshop covered more broadly current developments in several different geometric variational problems and their applications. Topics included harmonic maps, Willmore surfaces, Yamabe-type problems, geometric measure theory...

The workshop focused on recent advances related to the variational theory of the area functional and regularity of minimal varieties. Topics included minimal surfaces, constant mean curvature surfaces, the...

This workshop aimed to explore connections between complexity and optimization with algebra and analysis, which have emerged from the works on operator scaling. The hope is to inform participants from different communities of both basic tools and...

The workshop focused on recent progress in the analytic theory of automorphic forms.
Topics included the trace formula with its relative, local and arithmetic variants, periods and the theta correspondence, and...
