2024/08/28 - 2024/08/28 A satellite event has been organized about contrastive learning. Contrastive or self-supervised learning is an intuitive and computationally feasible alternative to likelihood-based learning that is used in a broad range of domains, including natural language processing, image modeling and representation learning. Both methodological and applied topics will be presented. The tutorial is scheduled on 28 August 2024, h. 8.30-13.00. The tutorial took place in collaboration with the Future Artificial Intelligence Research (FAIR) Foundation.

2022/03/14 - 2022/03/14 This lecture is an attempt to illustrate the beauty and unity of mathematics. The pretext is the (apparent) conflict between randomness and order observable in the distribution of prime numbers, from the intuitions of Gauss to the symmetry of the zeta function discovered by Riemann. The central theme is the role of Fourier analysis in our understanding of the mathematical and physical world, from Riemann's formulas to, time permitting, the explanation of the gamma factor according to Tate's thesis. Presented by Salvatore Cosentino.

2021/05/20 - 2021/05/20 The objective of this seminar is to show the solutions, difficulties, and limitations that statisticians and epidemiologists face in preparing for the Infarmed meetings since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, presented by Milton Severo from the Institute of Public Health of the University of Porto. In times of a pandemic, an acceleration in scientific evidence is required for decision-making. This need is often not compatible with obtaining good epidemiological and statistical indicators.

2020/02/21 - 2020/02/21 The chapel of Nossa Senhora Aparecida, integrated into the built complex of the Congregados, is attributed to André Soares, who is believed to have designed it in the final phase of his life. It impresses with the smallness of its space combined with the meticulousness and excellence of the decorative details. This space, a scene of life and refuge for the Oratorian Fathers of Barga, also conceals a complex and invisible mathematical work, the significance of which is timely to decipher.
