| Dates | 13 Aug 2012 → 26 Aug 2012 | [ID=445996] |
| Location | Institute for Mathematical Sciences, National Univ, Singapore |
| Abstract | The topic of high-dimensional data analysis has many aspects, motivated by many applications, sometimes relying heavily on dimension reduction and variable selection, and sometimes co-habiting happily with more conventional multivariate methods. The August workshop, the first of two in the IMS Singapore program titled 'Meeting the Challenges of High Dimension - Statistical Methodology, Theory and Applications,' will address all of these aspects. They lie at the frontiers along which statistical methodology, the applications that motivate it, the questions that it answers, and the theory that underpins it, are advancing today. The October workshop continues to address challenges of high-dimensional data analysis with more focuses on the methods and applications where sparsity is present. Activities include Workshop 1: August 13-24, 2012; 2. Tutorials; 3. Workshop 2: October 1-12, 2012. |

| 19.ICERM Semester Program: Computational Challenges in Probability |
| Dates | 05 Sep 2012 → 07 Dec 2012 | [ID=444416] |
| Location | Providence, RI, United States |
| Abstract | Modern explorations in science, technology and medicine increasingly demand complex stochastic models. Computational and theoretical advances are needed in order to formulate, analyze, apply and interpret these models. Recent years have witnessed a remarkable interplay between computation and probability. On the one hand, probabilistic techniques have led to powerful computational methods such as Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms, while on the other hand the calculation of probabilistic quantities such as modes and marginals of high-dimensional distributions and the analysis of data from random samples has posed several computational challenges.
The Fall 2012 Semester on "Computational Challenges in Probability" aims to bring together leading experts and young researchers who are advancing the use of probabilistic and computational methods to study complex models in a variety of fields. The goal is to identify common challenges, exchange existing tools, reveal new application areas and forge new collaborative efforts. The semester includes three intensive weeklong workshops - Bayesian Nonparametrics, Uncertainty Quantification, and Monte Carlo Methods in the Physical and Biological Sciences. In addition, synergistic activities will be planned throughout the duration of the semester. In particular, there will be several short courses and plenary invited talks by experts on related topics such as graphical models, randomized algorithms and stochastic networks, regular weekly seminars and relevant film screenings. |

| 20.ICERM Workshop: Bayesian Nonparametrics |
| Dates | 17 Sep 2012 → 21 Sep 2012 | [ID=444360] |
| Location | Providence, RI, United States |
| Abstract | Data-rich investigations need advanced tools for allowing data to inform and interact with models. Bayesian Nonparametrics is a rapidly growing subfield of statistics and machine learning that provides a framework for creating complex statistical models that are both expressive and tractable. Recent, successful applications of nonparametric Bayesian models across a variety of domains suggests that these models have the potential for wide use. The challenge of constructing and using models on very high dimensional or even infinite dimensional spaces creates many opportunities for fruitful interactions between mathematicians, statisticians and computer scientists. Areas of interest include prior construction, posterior inference, posterior asymptotics, algorithmic development, and practical applications. |

| 22.ICERM Workshop: Uncertainty Quantification |
| Dates | 08 Oct 2012 → 12 Oct 2012 | [ID=444425] |
| Location | Providence, RI, United States |
| Abstract | Rapid growth in computational resources has heightened the expectation that scientific knowledge can indeed be a driver for societal well-being and betterment. At the same time, our ability to measure the natural and social world around has significantly increased, aided by technological development in sensors, the internet, and other modalities of communication. Science is thus faced, simultaneously, with a complex description of reality at an unprecedented resolution, and the possibility to describe this reality with mathematical models of increasing complexity. Probabilistic formulations of physical problems can be viewed as attempts to adapt rational procedures to this complexity, while tackling the conceptual challenges they inevitably present. As a testament to the significance of this confluence of mathematics, science, and technology, Uncertainty Quantification is arguably one of the fastest growing sub-disciplines in mechanics.
The communities of computational science, stochastic analysis, and statistics have evolved largely along distinct paths. To forge ahead, however, in the direction of transformative scientific impact, requires symbiotic exchange and collaboration. It is the intent of this Workshop on Uncertainty Quantification to bring together leading researchers in these three fields in order to delineate new horizons and forge new synergies that will accelerate the evolution of UQ capabilities to become an enabler of scientific and economic progress. |

| 23.ICERM Workshop: Monte Carlo Methods in the Physical and Biological Sciences |
| Dates | 29 Oct 2012 → 02 Nov 2012 | [ID=444380] |
| Location | Providence, RI, United States |
| Abstract | Monte Carlo methods are one of the main tools used to study the properties of complex physical, chemical and biological systems. Since their introduction in the late 1940s, these methods have undergone a remarkable expansion and are now used in many other fields, including statistical inference, engineering, and computer science. However, the design and theoretical understanding of Monte Carlo methods is still a challenging topic, especially for those problems where rare events play the key role in determining algorithm performance. The aim of the workshop is to bring together specialists in the application areas who understand the specific challenges posed by realistic problems and have developed sophisticated tools to tackle these problems, and mathematicians developing methods for algorithm analysis, abstraction, and optimization. |

| 24.ICERM Semester Program: Automorphic Forms, Combinatorial Representation Theory and Multiple Dirichlet Series |
| Dates | 28 Jan 2013 → 03 May 2013 | [ID=444456] |
| Location | Providence, RI, United States |
| Abstract | L-functions 'vast generalizations of the Riemann zeta function' are fundamental objects of study in number theory. In the 1980's the idea emerged that it could be useful to tie together a family of related L-functions in one variable to create a "double Dirichlet series," which could be used to study the average behavior of the original family of L-functions. Double Dirichlet series soon became multiple Dirichlet series. It has gradually emerged that the local structure of these multiple Dirichlet series shows a rich connection to combinatorial representation theory. This program will explore this interface between automorphic forms and combinatorial representation theory, and will develop computational tools for facilitating investigations. On the automorphic side, Whittaker functions on p-adic groups and their covers are the fundamental objects. Whittaker functions and their relatives are expressible in terms of combinatorial structures on the associated L-group, its flag variety, or Schubert varieties. In the combinatorial theory crystal graphs, Demazure characters, the Schubert calculus and Kazhdan-Lusztig theory all enter.
Recent progress in combinatorial representation theory has been facilitated by the development of computer programs by the Sage-Combinat group within the open-source mathematical software Sage. These tools have evolved in response to the research needs of the developers, but through a disciplined development process are general enough to have already found applications beyond their original intent. A major component of the program will be the further development and application of these resources, and it is hoped that they may be used to investigate the connection to multiple Dirichlet series and related combinatorics. |

| 25.First International Conference on Smarandache Multispace and Multistructure |
| Dates | 28 Jun 2013 → 30 Jun 2013 | [ID=436467] |
| Location | Academy of Mathematics and Systems, Chinese Academ, China |
| Abstract | The notion of multispace was introduced by F. Smarandache in 1969 under his idea of hybrid mathematics: combining different fields into a unifying field, which is closer to our real life, since we don.t have a homogeneous space, but many heterogeneous ones. Today, this idea is widely accepted by the world of sciences. S-Multispace is a qualitative notion and includes both metric and non-metric spaces. It is believed that the smarandache multispace with its multistructure is the best candidate for 21st century Theory of Everything in any domain. It unifies many knowledge fields. In a general definition, a smarandache multi-space is a finite or infinite (countable or uncountable) union of many spaces that have various structures. The spaces may overlap. A such multispace can be used, for example, in physics for the Unified Field Theory that tries to unite the gravitational, electromagnetic, weak and strong interactions. Other applications: multi-groups, multi-rings, geometric multispace. |

| 26.14th IMA Maths of Surfaces |
| Dates | 11 Sep 2013 → 13 Sep 2013 | [ID=432256] |
| Location | Birmingham, United Kingdom |
| Abstract | Computer-based methods for the capture, construction, representation, fitting, interrogation and manipulation of complicated surfaces have led to a wide interest in, and need for, the mathematics of surfaces and related curves. Many applications require the use of surface descriptions, especially in such fields as computer aided design and manufacturing, computer graphics and computer vision. The description of surfaces is also of interest in geographic information systems, multimedia, and many other areas of science and medicine. This diversity and the wide range of applicability of the subject have already enabled the IMA to hold thirteen very successful international conferences in the Mathematics of Surfaces series. |
| Topics | new developments in the capture, representation, manipulation, approximation, fitting, and design of surfaces, computational methods, mathematical principles, practical applications of surface mathematics in areas such as CAD, computer vision, computer graphics, geographic information systems, and architecture. |
