Complex Systems workshop 2024
This workshop of the Centre for Complex Systems of The University of Sydney will explore how physics-inspired models and critical behaviour appear in different types of complex systems. The goal is to provide an opportunity for researchers to share, discuss, and plan their research.
Program
- Wednesday November 13: (focus on models)
- 10:45-11:20 Dr. Sheryl Chang (Computer Science) "Modelling COVID-19 transmission and control: behaviour-induced criticality and pandemic inequality."
- 11:20-11:55 Dr. Oscar Fajardo (Mathematics) "Modeling beyond data. The use of Bayesian methods to add more details in our models"
- Lunch (not provided, we'll walk to a nearby restaurant)
- Thursday November 14: (focus on criticality)
- 10:45-11:20 Prof. Zdenka Kuncic (Physics) "Criticality, edge-of-chaos and symmetry breaking in physics-aware neural networks"
- 11:20-11:55 Dr. Ben Fulcher (Phyics) "Tracking the Distance to Criticality in Systems with Unknown Noiseā€¯
- 11:55-12:30 A/Prof. Pulin Gong (Physics)"Fractional neural sampling: a common computational mechanism of biological and artificial intelligence?"
- Lunch (not provided, we'll walk to a nearby restaurant)
