Controlling a complex system near its critical point via temporal correlations

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-69154-0

Here we test whether the time correlation properties allow systems exhibiting a phase transition to self-tune to their critical point. We describe results in three models: the 2D Ising ferromagnetic model, the 3D Vicsek flocking model and a small-world neuronal network model. We demonstrate that feedback from the autocorrelation function of the order parameter fluctuations shifts the system towards its critical point.

JuliaCon tutorials start today.

"Julia has become the fastest-growing language for computational science, and many of the top numerical researchers recently adopted it and joined the worldwide collaboration."

Doing Scientific Machine Learning (SciML) With Julia

07/26/2020, 5:00 PM — 8:30 PM GMT+3
Chris Rackauckas

Scientific machine learning combines differentiable programming, scientific simulation (differential equations, nonlinear solvers, etc.), and machine learning (deep learning) in order impose physical constraints on machine learning and automatically learn biological models. Given the composibility of Julia, many have noted that it is positioned as the best language for this set of numerical techniques, but how to do actually "do" SciML? This workshop gets your hands dirty.

Statistical Consequences of Fat Tails: Real World Preasymptotics, Epistemology, and Applications

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
https://www.researchers.one/article/2020-01-21.

The book investigates the misapplication of conventional statistical techniques to fat tailed distributions and looks for remedies, when possible.
Switching from thin tailed to fat tailed distributions requires more than "changing the color of the dress". Traditional asymptotics deal mainly with either n=1 or n=∞, and the real world is in between, under of the "laws of the medium numbers" --which vary widely across specific distributions. Both the law of large numbers and the generalized central limit mechanisms operate in highly idiosyncratic ways outside the standard Gaussian or Levy-Stable basins of convergence.

Workshop on Critical Transitions in Complex Systems 2020 (online)
29th - 31st July 2020

Complex systems research has been at the forefront of scientific priorities for some time and many very interesting phenomena have been identified and explored in the context of a wide variety of applications. This workshop is part of a series, reflecting on an emerging movement to develop a mathematical theory for sudden changes in the dynamical behaviour of complex systems, so-called critical transitions. The prospect to develop reliable early-warning signals for such critical transitions is potentially far-reaching since these could lead to better control strategies to avoid or diminish the effect of catastrophes.

🔗 The workshop will be conducted via zoom. The registration is free but compulsory via the zoom link here.
