Workshop on the Theory of AI for Scientific Computing

June 30, 2025
Lyon, France
https://tasc-workshop.github.io

Submission deadline: May 23, 2025
Registration deadline: May 23, 2025

The Theory of AI for Scientific Computing (TASC) workshop will be held as part of COLT 2025 and aims to advance the theoretical understanding of AI-augmented scientific computing, including capabilities and limitations of recent methods, principled architectures, unique data-generation and training considerations when connecting ML to downstream tasks, the sample complexity potential of transfer learning and active sampling, and ensuring the robustness of deployed systems and the validity of new discoveries. Our goal is to foster new theory that can bridge the gap between rapid methodological developments and their ultimate goals: scientific understanding and deployable computational systems. Join us on June 30, 2025 in Lyon, France for an exciting program of keynotes, posters, awards, and discussions about building principled connections between learning, algorithms, and the physical sciences, identifying promising scientific computing objectives for AI, and formalizing theoretical problems that will inspire continued progress.

Workshop on Algebraic Complexity, Geometry, and Representations

March 17-21, 2025
University of Warwick
https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/maths/research/events/2024-2025/algebraiccomplexity/

Algebraic Complexity Theory is a vibrant field that has been seeing a tremendous amount of activity in the recent years. Its classical questions have been interwoven with deep questions from algebraic geometry, invariant theory, and representation theory, with recent exciting connections to metacomplexity and proof complexity. The workshop brings together experts from these fields to discuss the current state of the art, discover new connections, and set the directions for the future. Each plenary speaker will explain a recent result and break down its main ideas to a level that is accessible for the mathematically diverse audience. Remote participation via MS Teams is possible.
