The Prob_AI Research Hub is looking for five postdocs: probai.uk/pdra-positions One of them is on „structure-constrained + informed AI“ with Catherine Powell, David Silvester, and myself at U. Manchester. Click the link to learn more or to apply — feel free to contact us. Retweet pls.

Say, you discretise an ODE with forward Euler choosing iid exponentially distributed stepsizes and linearly interpolate between discretisation points. Then, your interpolated path is a continuous-time Markov process. An analysis of this Markov process: arxiv.org/abs/2408.01409

„This paper explores how writing mathematics (on paper, blackboards, or even in the air) is indispensable for doing and thinking mathematics.“ Greiffenhagen (2014): The materiality of mathematics: Presenting mathematics at the blackboard. doi.org/10.1111/1468-4…

How do you parameterise an anisotropic Gaussian field such that the parameters are identifiable? What is a good prior for these parameters? New preprint by Liam Llamazares-Elias, Finn Lindgren, and myself: arxiv.org/abs/2409.02331

Our new paper in Nature Machine Intelligence tells a story about how, and why, ML methods for solving PDEs do not work as well as advertised. We find that two reproducibility issues are widespread. As a result, we conclude that ML-for-PDE solving has reached overly optimistic conclusions.

Exciting news! 😊 rss.org.uk/news-publicati…

Occasionally in mathematics a statement that just has to be true turns out to be false. A paper appeared on arXiv today that disproves a well-known conjecture in probability called the bunkbed conjecture. 🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2410.02545

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”

Matrix nearness problems arise often: Given matrix A, what’s the closest matrix that is, say, symmetric, positive definite, orthogonal, or bi-stochastic? Symmetry: There are many ways to symmetrize A: e.g. √AᵀA For unitarily invariant norms, closest Aₛ = (Aᵀ + A)/2 1/5

This prize was an enormous honor from a community I have liked and admired for many years. I'm so grateful to SIAM Activity Group on Data Science as well as my many mentors, collaborators, postdocs, and students.

Somehow, Bold Street Coffee must know of my upcoming trip to Berlin - playing „Heroes“ by David Bowie right now. ☺️

Just arrived back in Manchester after a few exciting days at the CWI workshop on high-dimensional UQ. So many great speakers, posters, and people to chat to! 😊 Oh and here are Svetlana Dubinkina and I trying to be: Eigenvalues? Lagrange multipliers? The Lebesgue measure?

🌟 Greetings from Banff! Exciting progress from our subgroups at the Mechanistic Learning: A Combination of Machine Learning and Modeling in Mathematical Oncology workshop. 🤞We’re studying Mechanism-Informed Neural Networks (NNs) to advance Tumour Growth Modeling.

On this note, Charles will give a talk on Wednesday 15 January, 3pm UK time, hosted jointly by our AI Fun with ELLIS seminar (co-organised by Michele Caprio Michele Caprio and Yours Truly) and the SQUIDS seminar (organised by Jonas Latz Jonas Latz).

There is an art competition regarding anomalous diffusions going on and you can vote for a winner below. Pouring techniques appear in my YouTube feed all the time. Ana Djurjevac has noticed that pouring paint is very much an anomalous diffusion. sites.google.com/view/anomalous…
