Description
This is the fifth installment of a series of workshops where we bring together physicists from particle, astroparticle, and nuclear physics, computer science, and mathematics to develop new methods for experiment design and optimal information extraction from data, powered by differentiable programming.
ย
This initiative stems from the activities of theย MODE Collaboration. MODE stands for "Machine-learning Optimized Design of Experiments".
ย
Location:
The workshop will take place at the OAC (https://www.oac.gr/en/) in Kolymbari, Crete (Greece). Information on the accommodation is availableย in a dedicated page.
At the same page you will find the procedure for young participants to ask for financial support: we have limited availability to cover part of the travel expenses and waiving of the conference fee for some selected young participants. Priority will be given to participants submitting abstracts for talks/posters.
Remote attendance is not foreseen. We want to create the spirit of a scientific retreat, where serendipitous conversations lead to new ideas and collaborations.
Minimal schedule:
- 8 June 2025: arrival day (evening, includes dinner)
- 9--12 June 2025: workshop sessions
- 13 June 2025: departure day (morning, includes breakfast)
Please account for different timezones when consulting the timetable. In particular, Greece is on Eastern European timezone (GMT+2).
Registration and abstract submission:
Please register using the links in the menu to the left.
New registrations close on May 1st.
Registrations must go into โcompleteโ status (i.e. wire transfers received, or confirmation that you will pay by cash at the venue) by May 3.
