The 2015 John Barrett Memorial Lectures

2015年巴雷特讲座将于2015年5月13日至16日在田纳西州诺克斯维尔的田纳西大学举行。今年的会议题为“随机滤波，计算和应用”，将重点关注随机滤波及其计算实现和应用的令人兴奋的发展。随机滤波由于能够灵活地将相关动力学与实验数据结合起来进行建模预测，近年来得到了迅速的发展。此外，与大数据相关的复杂物理现象和艰巨的工程问题导致迫切需要新的滤波理论建立和新的计算实现。会议将邀请到Dan Crisan， Tom Kurtz和Boris Rozovsky，他们将分别在讲座的主题范围内进行三次说明性讲座。此外，还将邀请一群处于职业发展不同阶段的充满活力的国际研究人员进行全体会谈，并举行海报会议。该项目利用美国国家科学基金会资金支持大约40名参与者的旅行和其他参与者费用，优先考虑研究生、博士后学者和早期职业教师。2015年巴雷特讲座将是一个备受推崇的系列讲座的第45期，该系列讲座始于向杰出的科学家约翰·h·巴雷特（John H. Barrett）致敬，他于1969年去世，是我们数学系的系主任。该讲座是国内历史最悠久的数学讲座系列之一，由杰出的演讲者提供。第45次讲座的重点是其他数学方法对传统概率主题的跨学科影响，以及与大数据相关的复杂物理现象和艰巨工程问题的跨学科渗透。一群充满活力的杰出研究人员将发表演讲并参与讨论，以加深我们对新的随机滤波方法和理论的理解，这些方法和理论需要进一步发展，以应对21世纪新的复杂科学和工程问题的挑战。会议的链接将在http://www.math.utk.edu/barrett/上提供

The 2015 Barrett Lectures will be held May 13-16, 2015 at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Tennessee. This year's conference, entitled, "Stochastic filtering, Computations and Applications" will focus on exciting developments of stochastic filtering and its computational implementations and applications. Stochastic filtering has experienced a rapid development in recent years due to its flexibility to engage modeling predictions based on pertinent dynamics with experimental data. Moreover, complex physical phenomena and formidable engineering problems related to big data lead to an urgent need for new theoretical establishments of filtering and novel computational implementations. The conference will feature, Dan Crisan, Tom Kurtz and Boris Rozovsky, who will each present three expository lectures within the realm of the thematic topic of the Lectures. Additionally, invited plenary talks by a dynamic group of international researchers at different stages of their career development and a poster session will take place. This project utilizes NSF funding to support travel and other participant costs for approximately 40 participants, giving high priority to graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and early career faculty members.The 2015 Barrett Lectures will be the 45th installment of a highly regarded lecture series that began as a tribute to the distinguished scientist John H. Barrett, head of our Mathematics Department at the time of his death in 1969. The Lectures are one of the longest-standing series of mathematical lectures in the country delivered by distinguished speakers. The focus of the 45th Lectures is the interdisciplinary impact of other mathematical methods into traditional topics of probability, and the increasing interdisciplinary penetration of complex physical phenomena and formidable engineering problems related to big data. A dynamic group of auspicious and prominent researchers will deliver talks and engage in discussions to deepen our understanding of the new stochastic filtering methodologies and theories which need to be further developed in order to meet the challenge of new complex scientific and engineering problems of the 21st century.
