The Lectures will take place at the ICTP in the Budinich Lecture Hall and will also be livestreamed from the ICTP website (www.ictp.it/livestream).
Lecture 1 (Colloquium):  "Energy estimation and data generation by inverse renormalisation group". https://indico.ictp.it/event/10561

Professor Mallat is an applied mathematician, he is a member of the French Academy of Sciences and a foreign member of the US National Academy of Engineering. He was previously Professor at the Courant Institute of NYU, at Ecole Polytechnique and Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris. He also was a founder and CEO of a semiconductor start-up company. He developed the multiresolution wavelet theory and algorithms at the origin of the compression standard JPEG-2000, and sparse signal representations in dictionaries with matching pursuits. His current work is devoted to mathematical models of deep neural networks, for data analysis and physics.

The Abdus Salam Distinguished Lecture Series receives generous support from the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences (KFAS).

Light refreshments will be served after Lecture 1 and Lecture 3.

We look forward to seeing you at these special events.

Best regards,
