The CIMPA School Ordered Structures with Applications in Finance and Machine Learning is scheduled to take place from June 16-28, 2024 at the University of Carthage‘s IPEST campus.
The CIMPA School aims to foster multidisciplinary collaboration by promoting interactions between the various specialties offered. To achieve this, the school will focus on two key areas: mathematical finance and stochastic calculus, as well as machine learning. These two fields will be approached from the perspective of ordered structures, which are inherently multidisciplinary and have applications in logic, algebra, functional analysis, and computer science, as well as in finance, economics, and machine learning.
The school will offer courses on probability theory and stochastic computations in vector lattices and Banach lattices, as well as courses on machine learning and its applications in finance. Machine learning has become a crucial area of research in recent decades, and it has become increasingly important for the scientific community of vector lattices and Banach lattices to engage with it. In fact, recent research has suggested that ordered lattices could be a promising avenue for high-dimensional optimization in machine learning.
To emphasize the practical aspects of these topics, the afternoons of the school will be dedicated to tutorial and practical sessions, with morning sessions being plenary and taking place in the IPEST amphitheater. The afternoon sessions will be in small groups with a maximum of 20 participants to facilitate interactive learning and practical work.
