This year, Simon Prince, Professor of Computer Science at UCL, published a series of tutorials on ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and stochastic differential equations (SDEs) in machine learning for RBC Borealis. These are intended for readers with no background in these areas and require only basic calculus.

Article 1 describes what ODEs and SDEs are and their applications in machine learning.

Article 2 describes ODEs, vector ODEs and PDEs and defines associated terminology. They develop several categories of ODE and discuss how their solutions are related to one another. They discuss the necessary conditions for an ODE to have a solution.

Article 3 describes methods for solving first-order ODEs in closed form. They categorise ODEs into distinct families and develop a method to solve each family.

For many ODEs, there is no known closed-form solution.

Article 4 considers numerical methods, which can be used to approximate the solution of any ODE regardless of its tractability.

This concludes their treatment of ODEs. In the coming weeks, we will focus on SDEs. They will describe stochastic processes and SDEs, and show how to solve SDEs using either direct stochastic integration or Ito's lemma. They will introduce the Fokker-Planck equation, which transforms a stochastic differential equation into the PDE governing the evolving probability density of the solution. They also consider Andersen's theorem, which allows us to reverse the direction of SDEs.

Regularly spending time in the #metaverse still feels like science fiction to many — perhaps partly due to limited access to #VR equipment or because the technology's usefulness for everyday tasks is not yet evident to everyone. Meanwhile, regular users spend more and more time in virtual spaces, sometimes even disconnecting from the physical world.

The question how these two groups can be brought closer together will be discussed by Hugo do Nascimento from Federal University of Goiás in our upcoming #sfbtrr161 lecture. One of his research projects aims at creating bridges between virtual and physical spaces and investigates how an interaction between the two could be designed.

📆 Monday, December 15, 4 to 6 p.m.
📍 University of Konstanz, Room ZT 702 & online
