In a little over a year since the release of ChatGPT, language models (LMs) have stirred concerns in government, over the possibility that citizens will come to believe the textual and spoken output of such models. Similarly, they have caused panic in education, forcing a rethink of what students are learning and how to assess it. Of concern to us here, is whether LMs mean the end of computational and/or cognitive models of human language learning and language use. Does the practical success of LMs mean that computational linguistics (and perhaps even linguistics itself) is no longer relevant? Or are we missing problems with LMs that computational linguistics (and linguistics more generally) could help us both recognize and surmount?

Logics have, for many years, laid claim to providing a formal basis for the study and development of applications and systems in Artificial Intelligence. With the depth and maturity of formalisms, methodologies, and logic-based systems today, this claim is stronger than ever. The European Conference on Logics in Artificial Intelligence (or Journées Européennes sur la Logique en Intelligence Artificielle - JELIA) began back in 1988, as a workshop, in response to the need for a European forum for the discussion of emerging work in this field. Since then, JELIA has been organised biennially, with proceedings published in the Springer-Verlag series Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence.

This PhD School is part of the broader CWI Research Semester Programme on Learning Enhanced Optimization, contributing to its overarching mission of advancing cutting-edge research in theoretical computer science, operations research and beyond.

Can machines prove theorems? Can they have mathematical ideas? On one hand, category theory offers a formalism for axiomatising ideas from machine learning. On the other hand, mathematicians are excited about the prospect of utilising machine learning techniques to spot new patterns in vast swathes of combinatorial data and hence formulate new conjectures. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together experts from across algebraic combinatorics, category theory, and machine learning in order to make headway on topics at the intersection of these fields.

Recently a variety of state-of-the-art methods in machine learning and artificial intelligence have been developed motivated by techniques from Stein’s method, a successful tool from the field of probability theory. These methods have enabled efficient analysis of the large amounts of data being produced in several scientific fields, like neuroscience, information technology, and finance. Motivated by this success, there has been an ever increasing interest in exploring further connections between Stein’s method and machine learning. The focus of this workshop is to consolidate isolated efforts and develop a theoretically principled inferential and computational framework via Stein's method for analyzing increasingly complex models and data objects. This workshop is intended to bring together prominent and promising young and diverse researchers working on Stein’s method and machine learning, and to charter the path for future development in the field.

Particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology cover the study of the universe from its smallest to largest scales. We study them in order to understand both the fundamental interactions that govern the universe and its large-scale structure and history. Advanced detectors at collider facilities that accelerate particles to near the speed of light and telescopes that monitor the night's sky looking back to the time just after the Big Bang are used to collect vast amounts of data in complicated datasets. Analyzing these data requires modern tools, making use of advanced machine learning and high performance computing infrastructure. This workshop brings together physicists, statisticians, and machine learning experts in order to make the most use of this data and learn as much from it as possible by discussing how to address the complexities of these large and detailed datasets, searching for 1 in a trillion events, and understanding correlations between thousands of quantities.

Catastrophic events, even though they happen rarely, have a significant impact when they occur. Disastrous climate, financial, insurance or complex network failure events can have devastating social and environmental consequences. A complete risk analysis for modelling and prediction purposes requires understanding how these extreme, rare events occur, and what are the main drivers causing them. Machine learning methods open the road for methodological developments to forecast these extreme events and discover their complex, possibly high-dimensional nature. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers contributing to closely related, but culturally disconnected research communities: extreme value theory and machine learning. The goal is to discuss new directions and open mathematical problems, and foster further collaboration. The leading experts will introduce young researchers, postdocs and graduate students to the state-of-the-art in the field.

Representation learning is at the heart of a paradigm shift in machine learning, driving many of today’s most advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Representation learning transforms raw data into meaningful features that machines can use to perform a wide range of tasks, such as image recognition, content recommendation, and text generation. However, a key challenge remains: ensuring that these representations are identifiable, a property that is fundamental to reliably deploying AI systems in real-world applications. Although identifiability is critical to developing trustworthy AI systems, the current mathematical understanding of representation learning in general, and identifiability in particular, is extremely limited. To address this gap in understanding, Banff International Research Station will host a workshop focusing on principled approaches for learning identifiable representations and understanding the properties of such representations.
