💡 New review article on arXiv: "Network Geometry"

(by Marian Boguna, Ivan Bonamassa, Manlio De Domenico, Shlomo Havlin, Dmitri Krioukov, M. Angeles Serrano):

Networks are natural geometric objects. Yet the discrete metric structure of shortest path lengths in a network, known as chemical distances, is definitely not the only reservoir of geometric distances that characterize many networks. The other forms of network-related geometries are the geometry of continuous latent spaces underlying many networks, and the effective geometry induced by dynamical processes in networks. A solid and rapidly growing amount of evidence shows that the three approaches are intimately related. Network geometry is immensely efficient in discovering hidden symmetries, such as scale-invariance, and other fundamental physical and mathematical properties of networks, as well as in a variety of practical applications, ranging from the understanding how the brain works, to routing in the Internet. Here, we review the most important theoretical and practical developments in network geometry in the last two decades, and offer perspectives on future research directions and challenges in this novel frontier in the study of complexity.

We are advertising three 3-year PhD scholarships in algorithms at
The University of Sydney, Australia.

The successful applicant will conduct research with Joachim Gudmundsson,
William Umboh, and André van Renssen in the Sydney Algorithms and
Computing Theory (SACT) group.

The specific topic will depend on the skills and interests of the student and
could include for example computational geometry, network design, routing,
trajectory analysis, approximation algorithms, and online algorithms.

The Full Scholarship will provide tuition fees and annual stipend
allowance for up to three years, subject to satisfactory academic performance.

The recipient may apply for an extension of up to 6 months.

For more details about the positions and on how to apply:

Mathematical Methods and Models in Machine Learning

The meeting takes place at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Bologna on 27 and 28 April 2020.

https://eventi.unibo.it/m4l2020

Aim of the meeting
The gap between the increasing performance of deep learning and its understanding is therefore a very relevant scientific theme that calls for a strong participation in research efforts from the fields of Mathematics and Mathematical Physics.

The purpose of the conference is to present recent results on mathematical methods and models related to machine learning and link researchers coming from different areas.


Registration
Registration is required by March 10 at 11am. It is possible to apply for a short talk
