Randomized Linear Algebra

This workshop is part of the Bernoulli Center programme at EPFL, to be held from 15 to 18 June 2026. Randomized linear algebra is arguably among the most exciting developments in computational mathematics, sometimes making possible computations of unprecedented scale. There are currently several important developments in randomized linear algebra, including those in low-rank approximation or the […]
Peering through behavior into the brain

This workshop is part of the Bernoulli Center programme at EPFL, to be held from 08 to 12 June 2026. The objective of this workshop is to bring together scientists from around the world to explore how behavior, especially in small animals, can be used to infer underlying brain functionality. Designed for theorists and experimentalists, […]
Numerical methods for random differential models summer school, NUMRAD26

The summer school, to be held from 02 to 05 June 2026, will cover both introductory and advanced topics on numerical methods in the following areas: high-dimensional approximation, Gaussian processes, reduced order modeling for scientific machine learning, and mathematical finance. The school is addressed to young mathematicians (PhD students, early postdoc researchers, and highly motivated […]
Detection and Emergence of Complexity: ALIFE Perspectives

This workshop is part of the Bernoulli Center programme at EPFL, to be held from 27 to 29 May 2026. An abundance of systems has been studied as potential models of artificial life: from classical discrete cellular automata to their randomized versions such as random Boolean networks, continuous systems including neural CAs or Lenia systems, […]
Observers, wormholes and complex saddles in cosmology

This workshop is part of the Bernoulli Center programme at EPFL, to be held from 18 to 22 May 2026. We will explore the following open questions in theoretical cosmology, related to the quantisation of gravity: How does one describe gauge-invariant observables in quantum gravity that resemble measurements carried out by an observer residing in […]
Fundamental principles of learning and representation: from Brains to LLMs

This workshop is part of the Bernoulli Center programme at EPFL, to be held from 11 to 13 May 2026. Today, the progress of AI capabilities far outpaces Moore’s law. More concerningly, it also exceeds the pace at which we understand how these systems learn, reason, and their reliability. AI is rapidly permeating many facets […]
Intersection of quantum learning theory, quantum sensing and quantum verification

This workshop is part of the Bernoulli Center programme at EPFL, to be held from 27 April to 01 May 2026. This workshop brings together the communities of quantum learning theory, quantum sensing, and quantum verification to explore their shared challenges and opportunities. While each field has made significant independent progress, interaction between them has […]
