by Francesca Romana Nardi 14 Aug '18

14 Aug '18

Cari colleghi, vorrei condividere con voi la bella notizia del premio vinto da Giovanni Gallavotti: ``Giovanni Gallavotti è il primo italiano ad aggiudicarsi il premio Poincarè, il riconoscimento più importante a livello mondiale per la fisica matematica. '' Dopo la notizia della ``Fields Medal'' vinta da Alessio Figalli, raddoppiamo con la il premio Poincare` vinta da Gallavotti :-). Vi indico sotto uno dei siti che hanno dato la notizia di cui riporto solo un primo stralcio: `` È il primo italiano vincitore del Premio Poincaré, considerato il ‘nobel’ per la fisica matematica: stiamo parlando di Giovanni Gallavotti che con i suoi studi sulla meccanica statistica di equilibrio e non, la teoria dei campi quantistici e la meccanica classica, è riuscito ad ottenere un risultato che inorgoglisce l’Italia intera.'' http://www.ilsussidiario.net/News/Scienze/2018/8/3/Giovanni-Gallavotti-vinc… Cercate in rete c'e` molto di piu`!!

Postdoc position in Geometric Methods for Deep and Reinforcement Learning at RIST
by Luigi Malagò 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

=========================================================== *Subject*: Postdoc position in Machine Learning (1 year, renewable up to 2 years) *Institution*: RIST - Romanian Institute of Science and Technology, Cluj-Napoca *Keywords*: Deep Learning, Reinforcement Learning, Stochastic Optimization, Optimization over Manifolds, Information Geometry, Riemannian Geometry *Application deadline*: 15 August 2018 (applicants are encouraged to apply earlier) *Salary*: around 2200 euro net *Official announcement*: http://rist.ro/en/details/news/postdoc-positio ns-in-deep-learning-and-machine-learning.html =========================================================== Dear colleagues, the Romanian Institute of Science and Technology (RIST) has an opening for a postdoc position, in the context of the DeepRiemann project “Riemannian Optimization Methods for Deep Learning”, funded by European structural funds through the Competitiveness Operational Program (POC 2014-2020). The appointments will be for 1 year, with possible extensions up to 2 years. The DeepRiemann project aims at the design and analysis of novel training algorithms for Neural Networks in Deep Learning, by applying notions of Riemannian optimization and differential geometry. The task of the training a Neural Network is studied by employing tools from Optimization over Manifolds and Information Geometry, by casting the learning process to an optimization problem defined over a statistical manifold, i.e., a set of probability distributions. The project is highly interdisciplinary, with competences spanning from Machine Learning to Optimization, Deep Learning, Statistics, and Differential Geometry. The objectives of the project are multiple and include both theoretical and applied research, together with industrial activities oriented to transfer knowledge, from the institute to a startup or spin-off of the research group. The positions will be part of the new Machine Learning and Optimization group https://rist.ro/en/teams.html, which performs research at the intersection of Machine Learning, Stochastic Optimization, Deep Learning, and Optimization over Manifolds, using geometric methods based on Information Geometry. The group is one of two newly-formed groups in Machine Learning at RIST. The official job announcement can be seen here: http://rist.ro/en/details/news/postdoc-positions-in-deep-lea rning-and-machine-learning.html Informal inquiries can be sent to Dr. Luigi Malagò <malago(a)rist.ro>, principal investigator of the DeepRiemann project. Application deadline: 15 August 2018 (applicants are encouraged to apply earlier) best regards, Luigi Malagò
