FAIRDOM User Meeting

Online

The purpose of the FAIRDOM user meetings is to establish an active FAIRDOM user community to allow networking between various FAIRDOM-SEEK users and learn from each other’s experiences. Within the two-hours event invited users will showcase the use of FAIRDOMHub and other FAIRDOM-SEEK instances for their research projects. After the presentations we’ll have plenty of […]

Colloquium David Dao: Gainforest: Using artificial intelligence to help restore the natural world

By David Dao, GainForest/PhD candidate ETH Zurich, Switzerland Nature has been deteriorating at rates unparalleled in human history and the implications are global. Climate change and biodiversity loss are two bullets in the same gun. Perils we face in parallel, both driven by deforestation and land use change. If global tropical deforestation were a country, […]

HITS-SIMPLAIX joint colloquium Michele Ceriotti: Atomic-scale modeling in the age of machine learning

Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

By Michele Ceriotti, EPFL STI SMX-GE, Lausanne, Switzerland When modeling materials and molecules at the atomic scale, achieving a realistic level of complexity and making quantitative predictions are usually conflicting goals. Data-driven techniques have made great strides towards enabling simulations of materials in realistic conditions with uncompromising accuracy. In this talk I will summarize the […]

Colloquium Peter Smillie: Counting fullerenes with modular forms — an application of number theory to carbon chemistry

Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

By Peter Smillie, Mathematical Institute, Heidelberg University Fullerenes are polyhedral molecules made of carbon atoms, first discovered in 1985. A few isomers are naturally occurring and many more have since been synthesised, with numerous applications across materials science, biology, and medicine. One source of theoretical interest in fullerenes is that there are a lot of […]

Colloquium Shimei Pan: Bias and Fairness in AI

Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

By Shimei Pan, Information Systems Department of UMBC, Baltimore, USA The emergence of advanced AI technologies, such as Deep Learning and ChatGPT has the potential to revolutionize the way we work, live, and interact with each other, potentially bringing a profound transformation of our society. Thus, it is imperative that we ensure the responsible development […]

Colloquium Victor M. Panaretos: Sums of Squares from Pythagoras to Hilbert via Fisher

Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

By Victor M. Panaretos, Institute of Mathematics, EPFL, Switzerland For one hundred years, the analysis of variance has been at the core of statistical inference. Though Fisher first distilled the notion circa 1920, its roots go much deeper in time, and ultimately lie in some of the most elemental concepts of geometry. This, in turn, […]
