[00038] Frontiers of gradient flows: well-posedness, asymptotics, singular limits

• Abstract : Gradient flows, a type of dynamics where systems follow steepest descent paths of various functionals, are ubiquitous in many areas of science and technology. Their mathematical understanding is still developing. Ideas like evolutionary variational inequalities, notions of slope, or very weak definitions originating from dynamical systems allow for far-reaching generalizations. Nonetheless, obstacles such as lack of convexity, non-trivial weights, or complicated geometric settings still cause difficulties. We would like to gather experts within the broad limits we stated, dealing with well-posedness and properties of gradient flows in non-classical cases, as well as singular limits or asymptotics.

[00059] Numerical solutions for differential equations: Probabilistic approaches and statistical perspectives

• Abstract : Many applications involve predicting the dynamics of a system by solving differential equations. Due to the increased demand for predictive power of these models, numerically solving a differential equation is now often combined with parameter estimation or uncertainty quantification. This paradigm shift drives the need for probabilistic approaches that are compatible with statistical inference, or that improve the robustness of inference to possibly inaccurate mathematical models. The talks in this minisymposium will present recent work that addresses these challenges for deterministic ODEs and PDEs, by using ideas from numerical analysis, probability theory, and Bayesian statistical inference.

• Abstract : The generalization of classical geometric mechanics $($ including the study of symmetries, Hamiltonian and Lagrangian mechanics, and the Hamilton-Jacobi theory, etc.$)$ to the context of stochastic dynamics has drawn more and more attention in recent decades. One of the important motivations behind some pieces of work related to this field is establishing a framework adapted to the handling of mechanical systems subjected to random perturbations or whose parameters are not precisely determined and are hence modeled as realizations of a random variable. This minisymposium will bring together speakers with diverse but related background, discussing recent developments on general topics of stochastic dynamical systems with Hamiltonian or other geometric structure.

[00072] Evolution equations in materials science: Multiscale modeling, analysis, and simulation

• Abstract : Materials science has become increasingly efficient and contributes with new products. The increased material functionality relies on good experimental grip on microstructure evolution. Mathematics plays a crucial role in using experimental understanding to shed light where experiments are inaccessible. Mathematical challenges are though unsolved. Elastic porous materials have many practical applications, however the mathematical treatment of elasticity equations for realistic media is underdeveloped as the small-strains-hypothesis needs to be adopted while the porosity of real materials (e. g. when biology is involved) disagrees. Our symposium focuses on the development of advanced mathematical methodologies applicable to materials having complex microstructures.

The study of fractional diffusion has become a new trend as a mathematical framework to describe anomalous diffusion. Indeed, in the real world anomalous diffusion is common. We wish to present the
  last and novel techniques regarding modeling with FDE and its mathematical analysis. In particular we are interested in modeling with the help of FDE, the
  resulting IBV problems, including free boundary problems. We also pursue the study of the qualitative properties of solutions including self-similar and
  fundamental solutions.

[00084] Asymptotic approaches to multi-scale PDEs in mathematical physics

• Abstract : Nonlinear PDEs play an important role in modelling many important phenomena observed in physics. One of the main challenges is that the physical problem at hand usually manifests its properties on a hierarchy of scales: the behaviour of the system at the large scale can only be understood by accessing a number of finer scales. Discovering the numerous scales in the governing equations and describing the singularities which appear in asymptotic processes give rise to exciting and difficult research problems (e.g. singular limits in fluid mechanics, macroscopic closures of kinetic models, or incompressible limits for tissue growth models).

[00088] Machine learning in infinite dimensions

• Abstract : Lifting high-dimensional problems to an infinite-dimensional space and designing algorithms in that setting has been a fruitful idea in many areas of applied mathematics, including inverse problems, optimisation, and partial differential equations. This approach is sometimes referred to as ”optimise-then-discretise” and allows one to develop algorithms that are inherently dimension- and discretisation-independent and typically perform better in high-dimensional problems. In the context of machine learning, this approach has gained significant attention in the context of operator learning. This workshop explores approaches that involve the approximation of functions with values in an infinite-dimensional space and their connections to partial differential equations.

• Abstract : Recent advances in the theory of nonlinear waves have allowed a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms leading to the formation of space-time localised extreme waves, often referred in the literature as rogue waves, in systems modelled by nonlinear PDEs of integrable and non-integrable type. Many theoretical questions remain open as for a qualitative and quantitative description of the evolution of a localised or periodic perturbation on a given background. The aim of this minisymposium is to gather world-leading experts in the field to discuss the most recent results about the onset and recurrence of rogue waves in nonlinear media.

[00110] Computation on Supersingular and Superspecial Curves and its Applications

• Abstract : Supersingular and superspecial algebraic curves have been studied in coding theory and cryptography for the last few decades. The applications are based on explicit constructions and computational aspects of such algebraic curves, which give novel and fascinating mathematical challenges. Interestingly, we have different kinds of problems depending on the genus of curves. The supersingular genus 1 curves, i.e., elliptic curves, are a central ingredient in quantum-resistant isogeny-based cryptography. A series of recent research shows that the security of the cryptosystems is closely related to arithmetic on superspecial curves of higher genera, whose study is the main topic in this minisymposium.

[00134] Evolution Equations for Interacting Species: Applications and Analysis

• Abstract : This mini-symposium brings together leading experts in the field of systems of PDEs arising in the context of interacting particles. Steric effects and interactions between members of opposite or the same species typically lead to systems of nonlocal and cross-diffusion type. The interplay of degenerate parabolicity and nonlocalities leads to a myriad of interesting emergent behaviours including pattern formation and phase separation. At the same time, these systems pose a variety of challenging analytical mathematical problems including the dramatic loss of regularity at the onset of phase separation. Thus, new analytical techniques and reliable numerical methods are needed.

[00151] Recent trends in SHM: damage modeling and optimal experimental design from a mechanical and mathematical point of view

• Abstract : Structural and mechanical systems like bridges, buildings and defense systems play an essential role in modern societies. The maintenance of these structures must provide their safety and prevent the loss of life but at the same time be cost-efficient. Usually, the monitoring issue has been tackled from an engineering point of view. Consequently, the number of possible problem-solving algorithms is drastically reduced.

[00172] On application of principle curvature distribution in local differential geometry

• Abstract : Recently, shape has become increasingly crucial in device and materials science.

[00176] Hyperbolic PDEs modelling non-Newtonian fluid flows

• Abstract : Since the beginning of continuum mechanics, the need to improve quantitative predictions of non-Newtonian flows continues.
  The simulation of turbulence or of complex (non-homogeneous) fluids using good PDEs, in particular, remains an unsatisfied goal.

[00201] Data-Driven Methods for Rough PDEs

• Abstract : Recently there has been an increased interest in applying data driven methods to learn partial differential equations (PDEs). For example, operator learning has been developed to learn maps between infinite-dimensional function spaces and has shown success in the context of smooth PDEs. However, these methods perform poorly in areas where PDEs are less well-behaved; for instance, when equations are parameterized by non-smooth functions or when the PDE involves stochasticity. This mini-symposium invites experts on novel methods for learning stochastic and ill-conditioned multiscale PDEs. Topics will include numerical methods for SPDEs, learning in multiscale settings, and advances in operator learning.

[00378] Mathematical Methods in System Reliability

• Abstract : System reliability is a measure of the performance of an engineering system. High-tech industrial processes increase in complexity and at the same time, system failures are having more significant impacts on society than ever before. Hence, the importance of reliability in modern engineering processes, can hardly be overstated.
  The reliable performance of complex systems depends on the performance of their components and the system’s structure. In recent years, advanced statistical, probabilistic and algebraic methods and techniques have been applied to system reliabilty. This minisymposium brings together recent developments of mathematical methods applied to industrial system reliability.

[00379] Numerical techniques for coarse-graining, model reducing and simulation of complex physical systems

• Abstract : The simulation of complex physical systems for prediction and control requires robust, efficient mathematical modeling and numerical algorithms, as the problem size and time scales of interest in many applications are typically beyond which can be simulated directly. In recent years, a wealth of new techniques and algorithms have been developed to help reduce problem size/dimension and accelerate the accurate simulation of various classes of physical observables while quantifying the uncertainty of the resulting predictions made. Examples of such techniques include Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics, Nonlocal Theories of Mechanics, Time Accelerated Dynamics, Hyperdynamics, Space-Time Homogenization, and so on. These techniques and numerical algorithms have made successful applications in a diverse range of models.In view of the wide range of applicability of these algorithms and the ideas which lie behind them, this minisymposium seeks to bring together both theoreticians and practitioners who study and use numerical simulations for a range of practical scientific problems, aiming to facilitate discussion and two-way dissemination of ideas across disciplinary and topical boundaries.

[00390] Recent Advances in Machine Learning Theory and Applications

• Abstract : Successful applications of machine learning algorithms usually motivate theoretical studies of their computational and consistent properties. These theoretical studies help researchers and practitioners better understand the algorithms, identify appropriate application domains, and set up hyperparameters to achieve the best performance. On the other side, theoretical studies can also in turn motivate new algorithms by addressing the limitations of existing algorithms. This usually improves the performance in some specific scenarios or broaden the application domains of the existing algorithms. This minisymposium will collect talks on recent advances that address the interplay of mathematical foundations of machine learning and their applications.

• Abstract : This minisymposium will bring together researchers working on multiscale image transforms beyond wavelets and discuss deeper connections between harmonic analysis and image analysis. We plan to discuss various methods to decompose an image into “predictable” local segments and their residuals that allow efficient and sparse image approximation and associated tools based on new types of directional wavelets and monogenic signal representations. The key idea here is how to predict main features, e.g., dominant orientation information in texture images, in each local segment in such a way that the unpredictable portion in that segment is easily compressible or remains as noise.

[00410] Recent advances in Bayesian optimal experimental design

• Abstract : Computational measurement models may involve several uncertain parameters in addition to the unknown quantities of primary interest. In Bayesian optimal experimental design, the goal is to design a measurement configuration, e.g. optimal placement of sensors to collect observational data, which maximizes the expected utility—such as the expected information gain—for obtaining information on the unknown quantities subject to uncertainties in the measurement model. This is especially important when there is a limited budget for collecting actual measurement data. This minisymposium showcases recent theoretical and computational developments to overcome the major challenges encountered in problems arising within this field.

[00426] Variational methods for thin structures and free-boundary problems

• Abstract : Thin structures are classically studied using variational methods and PDEs, and they may be described both by surfaces and by free interfaces. On one hand, surfaces appear for modeling soap films and biological membranes minimizing suitable energy functionals, like area and Canham-Helfrich functionals. On the other hand, free interfaces separate a domain whose boundary is free: it is not known a priori and it depends on the solution of a PDE. Such a free-boundary problems naturally arise in many different models in Physics and Engineering, like for instance the Bernoulli one-phase problem.

• Abstract : Deep learning has become increasingly popular recently due to its superior performance on a variety of tasks. However, understanding the mathematical foundations of deep networks is challenging because they are highly parameterized and built using complex computational heuristics.This session features recent works in mathematical deep learning theory based on empirically-driven, phenomenological approaches: the works first reveal prevalent phenomena observed across multiple deep learning settings; then, they propose new mathematical explanations for these phenomena. These mathematical results give important insights into the generalization of deep nets, the efficiency of their optimization, and their robustness to adversarial noise and data imbalance.

[00465] Linear and Non-linear Approximation of Curves and Surfaces

• Abstract : Approximation techniques are used in problems in which it’s required to find
  unknown functions from a set of known data. This problem appears in physics (solution of hyperbolic PDEs), medicine (medical imaging treatment) or topography (Digital Elevation Models) etc.

  Reconstruction based on linear schemes, like splines, have proved to be useful in different application (DEM). However they become ineffective for approximating piecewise smooth functions (shocks in solution of hyperbolic PDEs) or edge-dominated images. For such families, nonlinear schemes may improve the approximation performance.

  This MS brings together researchers from the two different communities, with the aim to generate scientific dialogue.

[00506] Inverse Problems for Anomalous Diffusion

• Abstract : Anomalous diffusion has received a lot of attention recently due to its extraordinary capability for describing nonstandard diffusion processes arising in multiple physical sciences and engineering. The relevant mathematical models often involve a fractional-order derivative in time or space. The nonlocality of the model substantially changes the analytical behaviour of the mathematical models when compared with the standard counterpart. This has also big impact on the behaviour of related inverse problems, which has witnessed many exciting and important developments in the last few years. In this mini-symposium, we aim at gathering researchers working on the topic to discuss recent advances on mathematical and numerical analysis of inverse problems for anomalous diffusion, in order to further promote the developments of the topic.

[00521] Recent advances on non-convex optimization in inverse problems, imaging and machine learning

• Abstract : Non-convex optimization has become increasingly important for modern data science applications, with many unsolved challenging open problems. Due to the absence of convexity, the well- developed paradigms convex optimization cannot be fully extended here, leading to the current situation that the theory of non-convex optimization is way behind the practice. In this mini-symposium, we focus on recent advances in non-convex optimization, including the analysis and understanding of the fundamental nature of the non-convex optimization, algorithmic bias/implicit regularization of gradient-based algorithms, fast convergent algorithms in non-convex problems, and their applications in inverse problems, imaging and machine learning and many others.

[00528] High order and well-balanced methods and stability analysis for non-linear hyperbolic systems

• Abstract : Many complex physical phenomena may be modeled by means of non-linear hyperbolic systems. When approximating such systems, one requires the use of efficient, accurate and stable numerical schemes. On the one hand, the use of high-order methods will be necessary in order to reduce the numerical diffusion inherent to the numerical approach. On the other hand, it is common for these systems the existence of some particular steady-state solutions that should be preserved, which will need the use of a well-balanced scheme.The goal of this mini-symposium is the discussion and presentation of state-of-the-art computational and numerical methods of high-order well-balanced schemes with applications to hyperbolic systems.

[00559] DNB Theory and its Applications

• Abstract : The concept of dynamical network biomarker (DNB) was proposed to provide early-warning signals of diseases on the basis of co-dimension 1 local bifurcation in 2012, and then is widely used in various topics and fields of biology and medicine, e.g. dynamical analyses of biological processes in biology and disease prediction/early-diagnoses in medicine. The DNB is a novel type of biomarkers to identify the critical state during disease progression, which quantifies biological systems from a dynamical and network viewpoint, thus providing reliable information on early-warning signals before onset of complex diseases. Many DNB methods as well as applications have been developed. The DNB theory with big biological data is expected to lead to ultra-early precision and preventive medicine. This symposium addresses but not limited to the recent development of theory, methodology and application of DNB in a variety of scientific areas.

[00580] Mathematical Challenges in Current and Future Location Estimation Systems

• Abstract : Location-estimation systems, and in particular Global Navigation Satellite Systems (e.g. GPS), are mature and ubiquitous. Many aspects of modern life are today completely dependent on these systems. However, deriving additional benefits (higher accuracy, resilience to jamming and spoofing) from existing systems and building future systems to fill application gaps require addressing challenging mathematical and computational problems. These challenges revolve around difficult nonconvex optimization problems, some with integer parameters, and some in high dimensions. Effective solutions require a combination of state-of-the-art mathematical tools with application-specific insights. The minisymposium will present both challenges and recent progress towards their solution.

[00592] Optimization and Inverse Problems

• Abstract : In an inverse problem, we want to come up with a good description of a phenomenom from bad measurements. Industrial-scale inverse problems include, in particular, medical and biological imaging, structural health monitoring, and process monitoring. Generally the inverse problem takes the form of an ill-posed operator equation, linear or nonlinear. To solve such a problem, often the problem is given a variational formulation to which regularisation is added to promote desirable solution features. The solution of the inverse problem then becomes dependent on efficient optimisation methods. The talks in this minisymposium cover recent research in the area. They present general-purpose optimisation algorithms and numerical techniques, and the application of such methods to inverse problems.

[00654] Poset Combinatorics

• Abstract :
  To a finite poset $P$ we associate two algebraic objects: the order polynomial $\Omega(P,n)$, which counts the number of order preserving labeling maps of posets from $P$ to $1 < 2 < \ldots < n$; and the generating series $\sum \Omega(P,n)x^n$, called order series.
  This algebraic setting leads to interactions with operad theory, metric spaces, cellular automata, and combinatorial species. In this mini-symposium, the experts will introduce those tools and expose their contributions as well as open questions. The talks will include theoretical results as well as applications to nonlinear signal-flow graphs.

Oftentimes, the computation of the posterior requires application of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. Direct implementation of these techniques becomes a challenge when the target parameters have a particular structure and are high-dimensional. This mini-symposium aims at presenting recent developments in sampling methods and prior/regularization models in statistics and inverse problems, including novel MCMC techniques, Monte Carlo estimators, and priors encoding structural information.

[00763] Long-time dynamics of numerical methods for nonlinear evolution equations

• Abstract : The numerical simulation of many physical systems requires an understanding of solutions which goes beyond mere numerical accuracy – they possess invariant structure and qualitative features that distinguish physically meaningful from spurious behaviour. This leads to the fundamental question to what extend such features of the underlying system can be preserved in the numerical flow, in particular over times much longer than is guaranteed by local error estimates. The proposed minisymposium brings together experts from computational mathematics to provide an overview of current state-of-the-art and recent advances in the study and design of methods for evolution equations with favourable long-time behaviour.

[00778] Analysis, Applications, and Advances in Metamaterials and Composites

• Abstract : Composites are inhomogeneous mixtures of their component materials. Metamaterials are composites with properties that go beyond those of the constituent phases and possibly beyond naturally occurring materials. These have attracted increasing attention in the past twenty years. Many important mathematical questions have been addressed, yet many remain. For example, composites and metamaterials can guide fields and waves in desired ways, e.g., cloaking, but the limitations of this are not so clear. Also, what unusual effective behaviors are possible? Incorporating dispersion, dissipation, anisotropy, extreme moduli, etc. adds to the challenge. This minisymposium will present exciting new developments in the field.

[00785] Learning Dynamical Systems by Preserving Symmetries, Energies, and Variational Principles

• Abstract : Dynamical systems abound in engineering and science, and their accurate long-time simulation and outer-loop applications such as control, design and uncertainty quantification remains a computational challenge. From first principles modeling of physical systems, it is clear that many of these dynamical systems have a natural geometric structure (e.g., Hamiltonian, Lagrangian, metriplectic) or symmetry (translational, rotational). Exploiting and enforcing this structure in physics-based learning methods remains imperative for capturing the underlying physics accurately. This minisymposium highlights recent developments in physics-preserving learning for dynamical systems, such as: Lagrangian/Hamiltonian neural networks, sparse identification of nonlinear dynamics (SINDy), operator inference, preservation of conservation laws, the incorporation of interconnection and modular structure, structure-preserving system identification and other machine learning approaches.

[00787] Space Weather: Modeling, Surrogates and Uncertainty Quantification

• Abstract : Electronic technologies that govern modern life, such as the Global Positioning System, are dependent on satellite technologies, which require accurate space weather models with quantified uncertainties to operate safely and efficiently. Uncertainties in space weather models are wide-ranging. They can stem from how the models are driven, e.g., parameters, initial conditions, forcing, and from the treatment of the internal physics and numerics. For example, predictions of thermospheric density must account for model-form and parametric uncertainty in models of thermal conductivity and Nitric Oxide cooling. This minisymposium presents broad class of novel UQ methods for the exciting application of space weather.

• Abstract : Research on quantum interaction models, describing the interaction of matter with light, has recently gained traction because of applications including quantum information science/technology and quantum computation. In contrast, despite the discovery of surprising relations with contemporary mathematical theory, including representation theory, geometry and number theory, the rich mathematical structure underlying these models has yet to be properly recognized. In this minisymposium we introduce the field and give an overview of recent results with a focus on the quantum Rabi model, the most fundamental model for light-matter interaction, and discuss related models in quantum optics and solid-state physics.

[00917] High-dimensional regression and sampling

• Abstract : The recovery of high-dimensional functions from point evaluations
  or more general linear measurements is a cornerstone of
  approximation theory and numerical analysis. While both are
  well-developed areas, the recent advances in learning theory
  and high-dimensional statistics sparked several new relations and
  tools for approximating functions. The research area hence has
  seen a quite remarkable synthesis of old and new results,
  especially in the context of nonlinear models such as neural
  networks and randomized techniques.
  In this minisymposium we aim at highlighting recent developments
  of high-dimensional regression and sampling with modern
  applications in machine learning and function approximation.

These problems are beyond the reach of conventional approaches, and their simulation is challenging, and new methods have to be developed. This symposium provides researchers with a platform to present their algorithms and simulations for these flow problems, including porous media flows, atmosphere flows, ocean flows, ocean ecosystems, etc. The presenters will discuss encountered difficulties, possible approaches, and future directions. The symposium contains presentations on computational methods and simulation of actual industry problems.

[00967] Stochastic Dynamical Systems and Applications in Data Science

• Abstract : The theory of Dynamical Systems has helped us to analyze models in various quantitative and qualitative ways, but when considering noisy data with tools in stochastic analysis, there are still challenges in many applications to get precise models for different kinds of processes. On the other hand, lots of innovative methods in data science are now opening up new research directions and broadening the range of research fields where conventional dynamical systems can play a role. Therefore, it is important to consider interplanetary research fields between stochastic dynamics and machine learning: how to analyze stochastic dynamic systems based on observation data instead of studying models analytically? And how to analyze Machine Learning algorithms using tools from the theory of stochastic dynamical systems? In this minisymposium, we seek to find a deeper understanding of the mathematical foundations of the state-of-the-art ideas and techniques in data science as well as its applications in understanding stochastic dynamics, through algorithm development, theoretical analysis, and/or computational implementation. Fields can be covered by but are not limited to Stochastic Analysis, Inverse Problems, Stochastic Optimal Control, Numerical Analysis, Optimization, Topological Data Analysis, Nonparametric Statistics, Uncertainty Quantification, Meta Learning and Deep Reinforcement Learning, etc.

• Abstract : Natural data that arise in several applications (such as biomedical imaging) are inherently sparse in suitable transformation domains provided in general by the gradient, wavelets, and their other variants. Such data sets can be stored in terms of a few samples, which in turn can be used for retrieving the original data with minimal or no loss of information via sparsity-seeking optimization techniques. A wealth of recent developments – going by the name of compressive sensing – aim at signal acquisition compressively and sparse (or economical) description of data of certain types. Of late, this area of research has seen some fascinating developments, which include adaptive solvers, sparsity-driven deep learning methods, hardware-friendly algorithms suitable for biomedical imaging and impedance tomography, etc. The symposium aims at discussing some recent developments in sparse representation/optimization theory that pertain to fundamental as well as application-centric topics.

[01622] Mathematics for Prediction and Control of Complex Systems

• Abstract : Weather is a good example of large-scale chaotic complex systems, with a strong sensitivity to initial conditions tied to the intrinsic limit to predictability. The sensitivity suggests effective control in which small modifications to the atmospheric conditions grow rapidly and result in big changes. Weather predictability has been studied extensively in the past decades, and prediction skills have been improving. With accurate weather prediction, we are now ready to study weather controllability. This mini-symposium consists of solicited presentations about the mathematics behind the predictability and controllability of complex systems such as weather and other problems.

[01768] Computer-assisted proofs in differential equations

• Abstract : Several phenomena from biology, physics and chemistry are described by differential equations. While the presence of nonlinearities complicates the mathematical analysis, the challenges are greater for PDEs and delay equations, which are infinite dimensional. Numerics have therefore become the primary tool used by scientists, which leads to the question of validity of the outputs. To address this, the field of computer-assisted proofs (CAPs) in dynamics emerged at the intersection of scientific computing, nonlinear, numerical and functional analysis and approximation theory. This minisymposium will bring experts describing novel CAPs techniques to study cutting-edge problems in finite and infinite dimensional differential equations.

[01800] Numerical methods for fluid-structure interaction and poroelasticity

• Abstract : Fluid-structure interaction problems arise in many applications. In biomedicine, such models are used to describe the interaction between blood and arterial walls. Such models have also been used to describe the interaction between blood flow and biodegradable stents, blood flow in patient-specific models of abdominal aortas containing aneurysms, and blood flow and oxygen transport in a bioartifical pancreas. Other applications include geomechanics and aerodynamics. When a deformable structure is porous and allows flow through it, poroelastic models are commonly used to describe its behavior. The numerical simulation of fluid-elastic/poroelastic structure interaction problems has received considerable attention, but still remains a significant challenge in the mathematical and computational sciences. Main difficulties stem from the the intricate multiphysics nature of the problem, and strong nonlinearities. This minisymposium focuses on numerical methods for fluid-elastic or poroelastic structure interaction problems and applications. Possible topics include but are not limited to: 1) partitioned and monolithic numerical methods, 2) porous and poroelastic medium flow, 3) mathematical and numerical analysis, and 4) validation and verification of numerical solvers.

[01897] New Tools for Nonlinear Time Series Analysis

• Abstract : Nonlinear time series analysis is the study of continuous-valued time series under the working hypothesis that they have been produced by a dynamical system of possibly higher dimensions. This assumption enables us to use methods, such as embedding theorems, and tools, such as Lyapunov exponents and attractor dimensions, that allow capturing data structure and information that traditional statistical approaches cannot. Other recently developed tools include recurrence plots, complex networks, ordinal patterns, visibility graphs, homology groups, transcripts, and more. This Minisymposium is intended to showcase such tools and provide a discussion forum for researchers in the field.

[02342] On dataset sparsification and data reconstruction in deep learning

• Abstract : Recent successes in deep learning are partially driven by the ability to use ever larger datasets with overparametrized models. However, the ability to obtain similar performance over smaller datasets is clearly computationally advantageous. Furthermore, when learning with large models over large datasets, it has been shown that portions of the data can be reconstructed from the model parameters. This clearly poses a privacy risk. It turns out that dataset reconstruction and dataset distillation are closely related. This symposium will bring together researchers working on the latest advances in both dataset reconstruction and distillation.

[02404] New Trends in Hierarchical Variational Inequalities and Optimization Problems

• Abstract : It is well known that the bilevel programming problem has been widely investigated in the literature due to its applications in mechanics, network designs and so on. In particular, if the upper-level problem is a variational inequality problem and the lower-level is a fixed-point set of an operator, then such a bilevel problem is known as a hierarchical variational inequality problem. The signal recovery, beamforming and power control problems can be modelled as hierarchical variational inequality problems. This minisymposium will promote a few scholars to look into new trends in hierarchical variational inequalities and optimization problems together, and provide an opportunity to explore the latest developments.

• Abstract : Multiscale phenomena are ubiquitous in science and engineering, and many multiscale problems are modeled by partial differential equations with general rough coefficients. Direct numerical solution of such problems is often infeasible because a huge number of degrees of freedom are needed to resolve all details on all relevant scales. Numerical multiscale methods aim at reducing the computational cost by efficiently incorporating physically important fine-scale information into a coarse-grid representation. The scope of this minisymposium is to bring together experts in this field to present recent advances in the design and analysis of numerical multiscale methods.

One of the common challenges of this field is the degree to which existing databases of prior knowledge should be incorporated to enhance the analysis of new bioinformatic data sets. Presenters will discuss their varied research projects in this space. Throughout the minisymposium, we aim to foster a dialogue among the presenters, as well as minisymposium participants, from which the nuances of this field can be discussed.
