2. “Debating the potential of machine learning for astronomical surveys (#2)” (27 Nov – 1 Dec 2023, IAP-France & Flatiron Institute-US)Machine learning techniques are developing rapidly. After our highly successful 2021 meeting, “Machine Learning for astronomical surveys », an avalanche of new data and an ever-growing use of ML in astronomical surveys clearly mandated a follow-up.
This year’s meeting follows the same format as previously: a series of invited summary talks, short and very lively contributed talks, posters and debates. Our aim is the same as before: to cast a critical eye on the application of machine-learning techniques in astronomical surveys. The need for new data-analysis techniques for next-generation surveys is no longer in doubt, but the applicability of these techniques (often developed outside of astronomy) needs to be questioned more than ever.
This time, to bring together as many people as possible, while limiting our carbon impact, this conference will be organised in two locations simultaneously, at the IAP in Paris and the Flatiron Institute in New York, with speakers and audiences at both sites. A professional production company will provide high-resolution live streaming video.
While the main conference and debates will be held simultaneously (in the afternoon in Paris and in the morning in NY), the time-shifted period (morning in Paris and afternoon in NY) will be devoted to in depth review talks by leading experts in the field including:
- Miles Cranmer (Cambridge University)
- Marylou Gabrié (CMAP, Polytechnique)
- Tomasz Kacprzak (ETH Zurich)
- Jens Jasche (Stockholm University)
- Soledad Villar (JHU)
- Tiziana DiMatteo (CMU)
The conference will features three debates, organised jointly between Flatiron and IAP hosted simultaneously:
- What can machine-learning do for the next generation surveys?
- What is the impact of large language models in astronomy?
- Is there truth in latent space?
These debates will be led by experts in machine-learning and/or surveys, with a wide range of views which will certainly lead to lively discussions, including
- Nabila Aghanim (IAS, Orsay)
- Pierre Casenove (CNES)
- Aleksandra Ciprijanovic (Fermilab)
- Helena Domínguez Sánchez (CEFCA)
- David Hogg (NYU / Flatiron Institute)
- Kyunghyun Cho (NYU)
- François Lanusse (LCS, CEA)
- Luisa Lucie-Smith (MPA)
- Henry Joy McCracken (IAP, Sorbonne Université)
- David Spergel (Simons Foundation)
- Licia Verde (ICC-UB)
- Lawrence Saul (Flatiron Institute)
- Torsten Ensslin (MPA)

Registration closes for New York / Flatiron September 30th, 2023. Abstract submission closes August 31th 2023.Transmis par G. Lavaux

4. School PREcision Cosmology In the era of big-data SurvEys (3–7 juil. 2023, Warsaw, Poland)We are pleased to announce our upcoming Summer School Program named PRECISE (PREcision Cosmology In the era of big-data SurvEys). The program will be held from July 3rd to July 7th, 2023, and will be oriented towards learning techniques for analysing large datasets from cosmological observations and simulations. PRECISE is designed to provide an immersive learning experience for students and early career researchers who are interested in advancing their knowledge and skills in the field of cosmology. The program will feature a wide range of activities and courses, including lectures, workshops, and hands-on projects that will allow students to gain practical experience in analysing large datasets in cosmology. Our sessions will be led by experts in the field of cosmology to deliver the lectures and guide the students through the program. The program will cover topics such as data analysis techniques, statistical methods, machine learning, and high-performance computing.

5. Asymmetric Binaries meet Fundamental Astro-Physics (20-22 September, GSSI, L’Aquila)The workshop “Asymmetric Binaries Meet Fundamental Astro-Physics” builds around 5 topics connected to these compact sources: self-force methods, beyond GR modelling, Exotic Compact Objects, environmental effects, astrophysics and data analysis approaches.
The goal of the meeting is to discuss the most recent advances in these topics and their relevance to probe astrophysical and fundamental physics scenarios. We aim to foster multi-disciplinarity among the various themes.
The workshop will be held at the Gran Sasso Science Institute in L’Aquila, from September 20-22, 2023.
L’Aquila lives in a beautiful environment surrounded by the highest peaks of the Apennine Mountains of Italy. The city is home to art, history, and great food.
