LIPN

We are pleased to invite you to our conference, Practices around Computation, co-financed by the LIPN (Laboratoire d’Informatique de Paris Nord) and the LACL (Laboratoire d’Algorithmique, Complexité et Logique). It will take place on the 17th, 18th and 19th of December, at the campus of Villetaneuse of the University Sorbonne Paris Nord.  The goal of this conference is to address the notion of computation from the point of view of the scientific practice. We take as a starting point the role it plays in different disciplines and the diversity of objects, representations, and uses this notion of computation refers to. All the talks are presented by young researchers, mainly PhD students, but the audience is open to anyone interested. About PaC :  The notion of computation seems to have acquired a certain importance in different scientific domains. Although it entered the terminology of each particular discipline its epistemic status is not always clear concerning the results it produces as a tool for analysis or the ontology of the object as studied for itself. It seems therefore important to raise the question of what a computation is, assuming the multidisciplinary perspective that it integrates.   Therefore the goal of this conference is to ask future scholars of different disciplines, all variously involved with the notion of computation, to engage a discussion focusing on the relevant cases at stake in their domain of study from the point of view of their individual practice. Before asking the hard question of knowing what a computation is or what it means to compute, this conference aims at gathering paradigmatic examples that could stand for the way computations are studied or used in a particular field of research, and thus can serve as indicators towards a conceptual clarification of the notion of computation.

On every other Tuesday, a public complexity seminar is held at the LIPN, treating a wide range of subjects within complexity theory: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eV59YCiY On Tuesday, December 3rd, we are honoured to welcome Rahul Santhanam and Andrei Romashchenko, who will respectively speak about Meta-Complexity and Communication Complexity. More information and videos of the previous talks are available on the website!

📣 Combinatorics and Arithmetic for Physics: special days, 20-22 Nov. 2024, IHES, 35 Route de Chartres, 91440 Bures-sur-Yvette. The meeting’s focus is about questions of discrete mathematics and number theory with an emphasis on computability. Problems are drawn mainly from theoretical physics : renormalisation, combinatorial physics, geometry, evolution equations (commutative and noncommutative) or related to its models, but not only. Computations, based on combinatorial structures (graphs,trees, words, automata, semirings, bases) or classical structures (operators, Hopf algebras, evolution equations, special functions, categories) are good candidates for computer-based implementation and experimentation. https://lnkd.in/eEH7eTMb 

It is an immense honor to be appointed as a junior member of the Institut universitaire de France (IUF), especially in such a prestigious historical place as the Sorbonne's grand amphitheater! My deepest thanks to LIPN (Université Sorbonne Paris Nord) and all my colleagues for their long-term support 🙏

🏆 Congratulations to Daria Pchelina, winner of the "Prix solennel de thèse 2024" from the Chancellerie des Universités de Paris. She did her PhD at @LipnLab from 2020 to 2023 and is now a CNRS researcher in Lyon.
