Event #1: Second International Workshop on Complex Systems Science and Health Neuroscience

Workshop chairs:

• Alexandra WOLF, RIKEN AIP, Tokyo, Japan

• Ewa RATAJCZAK, Nicolaus Copernicus University, Toruń, Poland

workshop Organizing Committee:

• Mihoko OTAKE-MATSUURA, Ikuko TSUMURA, and Tomasz M. RUTKOWSKI, RIKEN AIP, Tokyo, Japan

• Tomasz KOMENDZIŃSKI and Bibianna BAŁAJ, Nicolaus Copernicus University, Toruń, Poland

Scope:

• Complex systems science and health neuroscience are two interdisciplinary fields that aim to understand and analyze complex human health and well-being phenomena.

Event #2: Workshop on Mathematical Foundations of Machine Learning

Workshop chairs:

• Masashi SUGIYAMA, RIKEN AIP and The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan

• Tomasz PIOTROWSKI, Nicolaus Copernicus University, Toruń, Poland

Workshop Organizing Committee:

• Marek GROCHOWSKI, Nicolaus Copernicus University, Toruń, Poland

• Ikuko TSUMURA and Tomasz M. RUTKOWSKI, RIKEN AIP, Tokyo, Japan

Scope:

• The astounding performance and applicability of machine learning in an ever-increasing number of applications have not been paired with a sufficient understanding of its mathematical foundations, preventing it from application to critical fields where human safety and health are of interest. This workshop aims to present and discuss results laying firm mathematical foundations of design, implementation, and evaluation of machine learning algorithms using tools of linear algebra, functional analysis, probability theory, statistics, optimization, and information theory.
