Mission

Most of our research is devoted to statistical mechanics, quantum field theory and deep learning theory.

Key projects include:
--The investigation of the connection between lattice models and conformal field theories.
--The dynamics of learning, in particular that of neural networks during training.
--Artificial life, in particular continuous cellular automata.
--Decentralized systems.

Courses

Probabilistic models of modern AI

This is a course where we will cover various topics related to recent progress in AI. Emphasis will be on understanding conceptual and mathematical principles, and on relating those to experimental data for machine learning models used in practice.
