Conference: Power of Diversity in Uncertainty Quantification (PoD UQ)

不确定性量化多样性的力量（PoD UQ）研讨会将于2024年2月26日在意大利的里雅斯特国际高级研究学院主办，为期一天。这是下一届SIAM不确定性量化会议（SIAM UQ24）开始的前一天，该会议将于2024年2月27日至3月1日在的里雅斯特举行。SIAM UQ24致力于识别计算模型和统计方法之间的自然协同作用，并通过机器学习作为实用工具的出现而得到加强。因此，这将是第一次通过统一的视角来看待整个昆士兰大学生态系统的大型国际会议。对于进入昆士兰大学领域的研究生和年轻研究人员，SIAM UQ24提供了一个独特的机会，可以与来自学术界，工业界和政府实验室的昆士兰大学专业人士进行学习和交流。尽管这个机会很有吸引力，但会议的规模和广度可能令人望而生畏。PoD UQ的目标是研究生和年轻的研究人员，以简化他们对SIAM UQ24的方法，并确保他们充分利用它。该活动的名称突出了多样性在昆士兰大学所发挥的核心作用，这一领域的进步需要数学与统计、理论与计算的整合。多样性还指该活动以更大的包容性为目标的代表性不足的群体社区。昆士兰大学PoD的目标是：(i)向学生和早期职业研究人员介绍最新的和当前的建模、抽样和分析不确定性的趋势。会议将包括三场旨在概述昆士兰大学不同领域的演讲和两场关于当前热门话题的介绍性演讲。所有的演讲都将由该领域的国际知名领导人发表。此外，一个由昆士兰大学研究人员组成的小组将讨论在应用驱动和内在跨学科领域工作的机遇和挑战，该领域依赖于广泛的数学和统计基础，领域知识以及算法和计算工具。（ii）提供与同行和更成熟的研究人员建立联系的绝佳机会。认识到一个支持网络在建立职业生涯中的重要性，特别是对少数群体的人来说，昆士兰大学的时间表包括充足的时间来联系和互动。参与者将有两次咖啡休息时间和充足的午餐休息时间，以便彼此互动。海报会议和指定座位的座席晚餐将确保参与者与演讲者和小组成员进行互动。更多的细节可以在http://go.sissa.it/siamuq24satelliteeventThis上找到：该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Power of Diversity in Uncertainty Quantification (PoD UQ) workshop will be a one-day meeting hosted by the International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste, Italy, on February 26, 2024. This is the day prior to the beginning of the next SIAM Conference on Uncertainty Quantification (SIAM UQ24), which will be held in Trieste from February 27 to March 1, 2024. SIAM UQ24 is dedicated to recognizing the natural synergy between computational models and statistical methods, strengthened by the emergence of machine learning as a practical tool. Thus, for the first time there will be a large international meeting on the whole UQ ecosystem viewed through a unifying lens. For graduate students and young researchers entering the field of UQ, SIAM UQ24 offers a unique opportunity to learn from and exchange ideas with diverse groups of UQ professionals from academia, industry, and government laboratories. As attractive as this opportunity is, the size and breadth of the conference could be daunting. PoD UQ is targeted to graduate students and young researchers to ease their approach to SIAM UQ24 and ensure they make the most out of it.The name of the event highlights the central role played by diversity in UQ, a field whose advancement requires the integration of mathematics and statistics, theory and computations. Diversity refers also to the community of under-represented groups that the event targets for greater inclusivity. The goals of PoD UQ are to: (i) Introduce students and early-career researchers to the state-of-the-art and current trends in modeling, sampling, and analyzing uncertainties. The meeting will feature three talks meant to give an overview of the different areas in UQ and two introductory talks on current hot topics. All the talks will be delivered by internationally renowned leaders in the field. In addition, a panel of established UQ researchers will discuss the opportunities and challenges of working in an application-driven and inherently interdisciplinary field that relies on a broad range of mathematical and statistical foundations, domain knowledge, and algorithmic and computational tools. (ii) Offer an excellent chance for networking with both peers and more established researchers. Recognizing the importance of a supportive network in building a career, especially for people from minority groups, the schedule of PoD UQ includes ample time to connect and interact. The participants will have two coffee breaks and a generous lunch break to interact among themselves. A poster sessions and seated dinner with assigned seats will ensure that the participants get to interact with the speakers and the panelists.
