Dear HSF friends,

We are happy to announce that we are hosting a MIAPbP workshop on the topic of "Differentiable and Probabilistic Programming in Fundamental Physics" in June 2023 (Technical University of Munich) and applications for the workshop are open. If you are interested in differentiable programming, automatic differentiation or probabilistic programming, we will love to see you there. Please follow the link:

The format includes:

Residential Workshop
-------------

The idea is to have a "residential workshop" where participants spend an extended period of time in Munich to discuss, learn and interact in a relaxed atmosphere. The program includes 1-2 talks a day allowing participants to focus on networking, interactions and solving common problems in a less formal atmosphere. To make the program a success, the format organizers encourage participants commit to stay for at least 2 weeks.

In order to help you commit to such an extended period of time, everyone will be provided with an office and a per-diem and family support will be provided. In the registration you can indicate which weeks work best for you and which weeks would be doable. Once we have all registrations collected we will need to make a final selection of participants in which we will try hard to accommodate the preferences of everyone.

As this workshop spans multiple communities (from particle physics, astronomy to computer science) and not everyone may be familiar with such a format, please do not hesitate to contact us with any concerns or questions.

3-Day Workshop: "The Road to Differentiable and Probabilistic Programming in Fundamental Physics"
-------------

In addition to the residential format we will also host a 3-day Workshop "The Road to Differentiable and Probabilistic Programming in Fundamental Physics" in the days of 26-28 June 2023. If you register for the residential format you will automatically be enrolled in the 3-day workshop as well

The deadline for applying is in a week from now. If you are interested in differentiable programming, automatic differentiation or probabilistic programming we would be happy to see you around!


Best,

Vassil, on behalf of the organizing committee
