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

不确定中多样性的力量量化(POD UQ)研讨会将于2024年2月26日由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致力于承认计算模型和统计方法之间的自然协同，机器学习作为一种实用工具的出现加强了这一点。因此，将第一次举行一次关于整个联合王国生态系统的大型国际会议，通过统一的镜头来看待。对于进入UQ领域的研究生和年轻研究人员来说，SIAM UQ24提供了一个独特的机会，向来自学术界、行业和政府实验室的不同群体的UQ专业人员学习和交流想法。尽管这个机会很有吸引力，但会议的规模和广度可能会令人望而生畏。Pod UQ面向研究生和年轻研究人员，以简化他们对SIAM UQ24的研究，并确保他们充分利用SIAM UQ24。该活动的名称突显了多样性在UQ中发挥的核心作用，该领域的进步需要数学和统计、理论和计算的整合。多样性还指的是本次活动旨在扩大包容性的代表性不足群体群体。Pod UQ的目标是：(I)向学生和职业早期研究人员介绍建模、采样和分析不确定性方面的最新和最新趋势。这次会议将有三次演讲，旨在概述联合王国的不同领域，以及两次关于当前热点问题的介绍性演讲。所有会谈都将由该领域的国际知名领导人发表。此外，一个由公认的UQ研究人员组成的小组将讨论在一个应用程序驱动的、内在的跨学科领域工作的机会和挑战，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)为与同行和更知名的研究人员建立联系提供了极好的机会。认识到支持性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，Pod UQ的时间表包括充足的联系和互动时间。与会者将有两次喝咖啡休息时间和一次丰盛的午餐休息时间，以进行互动。海报会议和指定座位的就座晚宴将确保与会者与演讲者和小组成员进行互动。更多细节可以在：http://go.sissa.it/siamuq24satelliteeventThis奖项反映了国家科学基金会的法定使命，并已被认为值得支持，通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估。

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.
