EventsRaising European Public Awareness in Mathematics, Óbidos, Portugal - September, 26-29, 2010 An international workshop to provide a Forum for a general reflection and an international balance by experts on the building the Image of Mathematics, ten years after the WMY2000. It aims to encourage and inspire actions directed towards raising public awareness of the importance of mathematical sciences for contemporary society in a cultural and historical perspective, as well as to provide the European mathematical societies with ideas and contributions of concerted actions with other national or international organisations and societies in matters of raising public awareness of science and technology and other important aspects of society with a strong component of mathematics. The International Conference of the joint ICMI-ICIAM Study. The Summer Course on Optimization in Machine Learning (May 31 - June 4, 2011) will introduce a range of machine learning models and optimization tools that are used to apply these models in practice. For the students with some Machine Learning background the course will introduce what lies behind the optimization tools often used as a black box as well as an understanding of the trade-offs of numerical accuracy and theoretical and empirical complexity. For the students with some Optimization background this course will introduce a variety of applications arising in Machine Learning and Statistics as well as novel optimization methods targeting these applications. This course will be followed by the Workshop on Optimization in Machine Learning (June 6-7, 2011) which will bring a number of experts in the area and further present the state-of-art. |
