In this in-real-life only event, Yang Hui talks about how string phenomenology has led from differential geometry to computational geometry and now to machine learning.
The London Institute marks the year’s successes at its Yuletide Winterfest, from 4pm on Friday 11 December—if it can get the spirits out.
We’re bringing mathematicians and biologists together to discuss novel techniques for modelling cell biology on Wednesday, 16th September.
Physicists and biologists discuss theoretical models of cell programming and reprogramming, shaped by experimental innovations at Bit Bio.
Scientists discuss the potential of mathematical modelling in biology across problems in cell programming, immunology and gene regulation.
Mathematicians and social scientists discuss quantitative models of group dynamics and emergent behaviour on 30 Jan from 6:30. All welcome.
A dinner and discussion about collective imagination, strategies for acting on multiple timescales and how to respond to distant threats.
Marc Warner talks about how we should manage the safety of embedded artificial intelligence both individually and on a collective scale.
A dinner and discussion about speeding up innovation, forecasting technological change and the collective action problem in climate change.
