HSE-Yandex autumn school on generative models

HSE University and Yandex invite you to joint autumn school on generative models aimed at undergraduate/graduate students and young postdoctoral fellows from pure and applied mathematics. This intense four-day workshop will consist of 3 interdisciplinary mini-courses, list of invited talks, poster session by the participants and master-classes by industrial partners. Key topics of this school:

• Generative Adversarial Nets
• Statistical and Computational Optimal Transport
• Bayesian methods in machine learning

This school is supported by the RSF grant N19-71-30020 "Applications of probabilistic artificial neural generative models to development of digital twin technology for Non-linear stochastic systems" and organised by three laboratories of HSE University:

• LAMBDA (Laboratory of Methods for Big Data Analysis)
• DeepBayes (Centre of Deep Learning and Bayesian Methods)
• HDI Lab (International laboratory of stochastic algorithms and high-dimensional inference)

Yandex is an industry partner of the school.

Mini-courses:

• Optimization methods for optimal transport by Pavel Dvurechensky (WIAS Berlin)
• Generative models by Denis Derkach (HSE University)
• Introduction to scalable Bayesian methods by Dmitry Vetrov and Ekaterina Lobacheva (HSE University)

Invited talks:

• Artem Babenko (Yandex, HSE)
• Evgeny Burnaev (Skoltech)
• Viktor Lempitsky (Skoltech)
• Ivan Oseledets (Skoltech)
• Maxim Panov (Skoltech, HSE)
• Vladimir Spokoiny (WIAS, HSE)
• TBC
