My student Zhengang Zhong is now a PhD Candidate 😎! Congratulations on a great defence on Data-driven Distributionally Robust Model Predictive Control Thanks to Panos Petsagkourakis for his co-supervision and to Mehmet Mercangöz for his input and fruitful discussion during the examination!

I'll be at #ICML2023! KMM: causal learning in kernel geometry icml.cc/virtual/2023/p… Invited talk DP4ML workshop, gradient flow & robust learning dp4ml.github.io Wasserstein nonlinear control openreview.net/forum?id=4ZhPz… Kernel mirror descent & DRO openreview.net/forum?id=4ZhPz…

To force myself to learn more about Wasserstein gradient flow (for OPT & ML), I made beginner-friendly lecture slides for a mini-course. I took a practical optimization (and simple ODE) perspective of viewing GF, via the variational principle. Slides here: jj-zhu.github.io/file/IWIAS-min…

📢Help us spread the word: We are organizing a workshop on **Optimal Transport in Berlin 2024**, connecting the theoretical and applied research, with themes in Dynamics, OPT, ML. We’ve got a list of excellent speakers! ✨Super excited! Website: sites.google.com/view/ot-berlin…

🚀One month till our OT-Berlin workshop🌊#OTBerlin2024 Dive deep into the interface between optimal transport, machine learning, optimization, statistics, dynamical systems, gradient flows, etc. See you all in the heart of Berlin. Details & speaker list 👉sites.google.com/view/ot-berlin…

🎓 And that's a wrap on the LOGML Summer School! 🥰 It was an incredible experience organizing it. A huge thank you to all our speakers for their insightful talks, to our mentors for making it an unforgettable experience for the students, and to all of you for attending! 👏

⭐️Mentor applications open⭐️ We're excited to announce that LOGML summer school will return in London: July 7-11 2025. We are seeking mentors to lead group projects at the intersection of geometry and machine learning. Find out more and apply: logml.ai

Participant applications are now open! If you are interested in geometry and /or machine learning, do not miss this exciting opportunity! Explore mentor-led projects and experts' talks at logml.ai

And that's a wrap on the LOGML 2025 Summer School! 🚀 We’ve been quiet on here, but that’s because we were busy with 100 brilliant minds diving deep into geometry, ML, and social activities. 😉
