Dear colleagues,
we would like to announce the workshop

Stochastic Processes with Reinforcement
Berlin, 3–6 November 2026
Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics (WIAS).

The workshop will bring together researchers working on reinforcement
from a variety of perspectives, including urn models, preferential
attachment, reinforced random walks, branching and growth models, and
learning-inspired stochastic dynamics. We also aim to stimulate
discussion around emerging connections with reinforcement learning and
multi-armed bandits.

The programme will include a minicourse by Pierre Tarrès, invited
talks, and a discussion session on "Probability meets AI".

Registration is open until 11 October 2026.

Further information, including the programme, abstracts, and
registration, is available at:

We would be grateful if you could circulate this announcement to anyone
who may be interested.

Best wishes,
Elena Magnanini and Tejas Iyer
